Tom Lawrence and I make it our business to speak up, not just on our own, but with many knowledgeable, passionate writers from throughout the area who use The Standard as a platform for getting important, relevant messages out to the people of South Dakota.  

We do this with a commitment to keeping our content free to our readers, without the oversight and pressures of political sponsorship or commercial advertisers.  

Thanks to financial support from our readers, we’ve been able to maintain our pace, as well as our place, in the public conversation.

A paywall is something we’ll never put up.

If you prefer to mail a check, please make it out to The South Dakota Standard and mail it ℅ John Tsitrian  6144 Wildwood Drive  Rapid City, SD 57702.

With Tom Lawrence,  thank you for empowering us. We won’t let you down.  John Tsitrian
