Dear Reader,

Every day I hear from readers like you who tell me the first thing they do each morning is check the headlines and Covid-19 updates from VTDigger. They count on us to keep them aware of the latest case numbers, breaking news and big stories that affect communities across the state. If you rely on VTDiggerโ€™s daily reporting, will you support our work by becoming a member today?

As VTDiggerโ€™s managing editor, I know firsthand how much work goes into producing a quality and comprehensive news report each day. For more than 18 months now, our team of journalists has relentlessly covered the Covid-19 pandemic in Vermont. As the Delta variant has spread throughout the state over the past two months, we have redoubled our efforts to provide readers with accurate data and dig into the underlying stories about outbreaks in schools, reporting delays and how public officials are responding to the pandemic.

What keeps us going is our unyielding commitment to readers and the knowledge that people are counting on us to provide them with the information they need. Itโ€™s no exaggeration to say that every day we get messages like these from grateful readers:

โ€œYour Covid-19 coverage is the best I can find anywhere in the region, by any news source. Keep up the good work!โ€

โ€œIf not for Digger we wouldnโ€™t have the in-depth information we need to stay informed about Covid-19.โ€

We will continue to cover the Covid-19 pandemic as long as we need to โ€” and itโ€™s member support that makes that possible. Can we count on you to become a member and ensure VTDigger can continue covering Vermontโ€™s important stories?

Sincerely,
Paul Heintz

Managing Editor, VTDigger
