We believe in Lafayette.

That’s because we know Lafayette is a community of bold people and ideas. And that community deserves a bold voice.

We launched The Current to be a source of in-depth, community focused news. That’s the heart of our mission as Lafayette’s first and only nonprofit news organization.

We cover Lafayette and what matters to the people who live here. On our website and in our newsletters, you’ll find reporting about local government and politics, community, culture and more. You’ll learn what’s happening in your neck of the Hub City and why it’s important.

Our story is Lafayette’s story. And we strive to tell every part of it: Where we’ve been and where we’re going, what’s working and what’s not. Our journalism starts with you.
