About 24/7 Laredo
Original. Free. Independent. We're Laredo's trusted source for up-to-date local news, committed to keeping our community informed around the clock.
24/7 Laredo was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to deliver honest, timely, and accessible news to the people of Laredo and Webb County. In a media landscape dominated by national headlines, we believe local journalism is the backbone of an informed community.
Our Story
Born out of a passion for community-driven reporting, 24/7 Laredo launched as a digital-first news platform to fill a critical gap in local coverage. We recognized that the residents of Laredo — one of the fastest-growing cities on the Texas-Mexico border — deserved a news source that speaks directly to their lives, concerns, and aspirations.
What started as a small operation has grown into a multimedia newsroom covering everything from breaking crime reports and city government decisions to education updates, business developments, and the cultural stories that make Laredo unique.
