Did you know?

  • Local news is in ‘serious jeopardy,’ according to industry experts.
  • Communities, on average, have lost more than 80 percent of their local journalists in the last two decades.
  • 100,000+ people donated to a newsroom for the first time last year.
  • Newspapers now earn more from readers than from ads.

We’ve set an annual goal of $5,000 per month for reader support through our Tip Jar.

Each monthly or one-time contribution helps us get one step closer to that target.

Note: gofundme has a slider where you adjust the amount you want to give them, if any. The default is around 17 percent.

Donations for our Tip Jar may also be sent to:
