BREAKING NEWS LINKS ARE ALSO IN the HICKS NEWS .

What is Hicks News?

Hicks News is an independent investigative journalism platform dedicated to exposing corruption, holding local government accountable, and ensuring the people of LaSalle — and the surrounding communities — have access to the truth the establishment doesn’t want you to know.

We are not controlled by special interests, political insiders, or big-money donors. Our only obligation is to the truth — no matter how uncomfortable it may be for those in power.

Why Hicks News Exists

For far too long, the residents of LaSalle have been fed carefully controlled narratives designed to protect those in power while silencing those who dare to ask questions. Critical decisions affecting your tax dollars, your health, your safety, and your future have been made behind closed doors, with little to no transparency.

Hicks News was created to change that.

Through relentless investigation, direct access to public records, and fearless reporting, Hicks News shines a light on the backroom deals, financial mismanagement, political retaliation, and environmental threats that have gone unchecked for years.

We cover what others ignore. We ask the questions others are afraid to ask. And we don’t stop until the full truth is exposed — backed by evidence, documents, and facts.

Why Investigative Journalism Matters in LaSalle

When local governments operate without oversight, corruption flourishes.
When local media becomes an extension of the political machine, the public is left in the dark.
When citizens fear retaliation for speaking out, democracy dies.

That’s why Hicks News is necessary.

We stand between the people and the powerful, ensuring every resident — regardless of income, status, or political views — has access to the full, uncensored truth about how their community is being run.
