More Free Press in Print in Ogden

The Ogdenite was founded by local writer and journalist Deann Armes in 2019 to fill a void in Ogden-based arts and culture coverage. It was hard to find out about all the amazing things happening in Ogden, so Deann started covering events, artists, and small businesses on The Ogdenite site, including "Goings On About O-Town," a popular weekly social media post. Earlier this year, she added a monthly print edition, which you can subscribe to here.
