Dear Reader,
At PublicSource, we cover a lot of issues we feel are deeply important: education, economic development, the environment and more. Today, we want to talk a little bit to you about our local government coverage.
Readers like you have told us in a multitude of ways how much you value reporting on local governments, their officials and how they affect quality of life for residents they represent. These stories are highly read, with long engagement time—which tells us people aren’t just clicking headlines but are diving deep. And when people donate to us, we see our coverage of city and county government cited time and again as what inspired them to give.
We want to go even deeper on our local government coverage. In the next year, we want to lay the groundwork to expand our reporting to more municipal governments in the region while also investigating the financial aftermath of unprecedented property tax appeals and waning pandemic relief funds, just to name a few things. This is coverage you really can’t find elsewhere: No one else covers these topics in our community at this level of detail. And we’ll continue to incorporate your questions and priorities — share them any time by replying to our emails or social posts. But we can’t do this work without your support.
We know you care about local government reporting and see the value in our stories about it. So: will you donate today to fuel this work?
