Dear reader,
December is upon us and that means we only have a few weeks left to raise critical funds for our nonprofit newsroom before the end of the year. In order to stay on track, we need 100 readers to step up with a contribution today.
Will you join us during our annual fund drive? If you’ve never supported Digger, we’d like to invite you to start with a suggested donation of $120 (or $10 per month).
VTDigger is people. Our budget is mostly salaries. That means when you make a donation to VTDigger, your dollars go straight toward keeping journalists on our payroll.
Across the county, local news is disappearing. The cost to the public is immense. When local news publishers are forced to close communities see less voting and community engagement, and more political polarization and misinformation.
Vermont has lost over 100 reporting jobs since 1990. But VTDigger is a stronghold of local news. Most news publishers require paid subscriptions, but VTDigger does not because we believe no one should be prevented from accessing important information.
VTDigger intends to continue providing accessible, high quality journalism for Vermont — but we need your help. Please join our end-of-year member drive today.
Thank you for your readership and support,
Sky Barsch
CEO, VTDigger
