Happy New Year!

There’s much to be excited about as 2026 arrives tonight at midnight. Maybe it’s your plans for New Year’s Eve; for an extended holiday weekend; or, simply the hope that 2026 brings happiness.

As for your Shreveport-Bossier Journal team, we are eager to continue bringing you quality coverage of local news and information.

We are thankful for your taking advantage of our free publication. We’re never going to charge you a penny, we’re never going to bombard you with pop-ups and pay walls, and we’re never going to share your e-mail address with anybody.

We are, however, going to take the rest of the week off to start the year! We did the same last week for the Christmas holiday. To allow our wonderful team members to enjoy quality time with their families, friends and pets, or in the woods, in front of the TV, or finding fun and relaxation to refresh for 2026, we will not publish the Journal on Thursday or Friday this week.

We will resume our regular weekday schedule Monday, Jan. 5, with our 6:55 a.m. email edition. All will also be posted on our website and shared on our Facebook page, with plenty of content – all at no cost to you.
