The mantra behind The Bitter Southerner is “Better South, Better World.”

Co-founder Kyle Tibbs Jones says this drives all the work the 10-year-old media company does, from the books and magazine they publish to their podcast and merchandise.

Jones says the small, motivated team behind Bitter Southerner all love the South and have pride in where they come from, but also aspire to see change.
