Dear reader, 

I am proud to serve as a trustee of the Vermont Journalism Trust, having watched how the publication has grown and become an urgently needed and respected news organization in the state.

For the next 48 hours, with only 12 days left in the member drive, any donation up to $500 will be matched dollar for dollar by generous friends of VTDigger

VTDigger is not just a publication. It is also a standard – one we all try to live up to. A standard for fairness, for fierceness, for honesty and for independence. Digger is creating the kind of journalism that keeps democracy alive all over the world, but most importantly right here in Vermont. 

To do this work well, VTDigger relies on the support of our readers. Whether you’re making a gift once a year, or a regular monthly contribution, your donation fuels our journalism. Today that donation will go twice as far

I hope you’ll join me in supporting VTDigger however you are able, and please encourage your friends and neighbors to join you in making Digger’s journalism possible.

Jane Mayer

Journalist, author and Trustee of the Vermont Journalism Trust
