Dear reader,
Local journalism is the sunlight our democracy needs to function. Please keep it shining in Vermont by joining our spring drive today on eclipse day! You’ll also brighten a child’s day by sending a brand-new book with your supporting gift.
Here’s how we’re making sure that you have all the coverage of the once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse scheduled to pass through Vermont today:
- Publishing dispatches throughout the day including safety updates and watch party scenes from around the state.
- Hosting an eclipse livestream on our website’s homepage this afternoon.
- Collecting first-person accounts and photos from people like you.
- And of course, providing trusted analysis of this unusual event and its impact on Vermont’s residents, local economy and more.
Follow along on our site and social media (@vtdigger), plus share your eclipse experience in photos, videos and more.
Statewide coverage like this takes a huge amount of coordination and planning. If you appreciate our public service news, please take a minute to help support it with a donation in any amount.
Each contribution to VTDigger will send a brand-new book to a Vermont child via the Children’s Literacy Foundation. We are already one-third of the way to our goal of sending 3,000 books!
We can’t wait to see you out there today. Thank you for being a reader and we hope you’ll consider becoming a supporting member this spring.
With gratitude,
Maggie Cassidy
Managing Editor, VTDigger
