Wichita News Flash

Independent. Unfiltered. A few people keeping Wichita informed in our spare time. We kindly ask that you refrain from sending related content.

We’re a small, independent news outlet that delivers transparent coverage of events in & around Wichita. Originally known as Wichita News Network, we were founded in 2022 out of frustration with local mainstream media constantly overlooking crimes we knew were happening- things we believed the public should know about.
