Wichita Story magazine is dedicated to telling the stories of the people of Wichita through pieces of feature journalism, thoughtful columns, photojournalism, short fiction, humor, poetry, and short video documentaries. We recognize that the number of journalists in Wichita has been shrinking for quite some time. Thus, we aim to “fill the gap” by telling those untold stories that are important to our community. Our goal is quality journalism and impactful storytelling.
