We’re counting on you to help us raise the $11,000 remaining toward our end-of-quarter goal.
Hi John, Ben here.
I’m the new Finance Director for Courier Newsroom, which means I’m responsible for pulling together the resources we need to support all 8 of our newsrooms. And I couldn’t be more excited to join Courier’s fight against misinformation in battleground states across the country!
Right now, we’re still running about $11,000 short of our end-of-quarter goal, so we need help if we’re going to get there by tomorrow night’s deadline.
If you’ll give me just another minute of your time, I’ll explain what reaching this goal will mean for our newsrooms — but first, can you pitch in $5 to close this gap?

Courier Newsroom operates in ‘news deserts’ that lack other reliable sources of fact-based reporting on local issues. Our journalists pick up the national media’s slack and call out misinformation for what it is – and we don’t hide any of our content behind paywalls.
Instead, we count on the generous support of grassroots donors like you to help power our work. So here’s what closing this $11,000 gap means:
- It means expanding the reach of our stories, all while keeping them free.
- It means hiring more journalists to chase important leads.
- And it means opening more newsrooms in more states.
If that isn’t enough to convince you, I’ll also let you in on a secret I’ve learned as Finance Director: Less than 1% of the people who receive this email will actually make a contribution. So if you think our goal will be met by someone else, think again!
We really are counting on you to help us raise the $11,000 remaining to hit our end-of-quarter goal so we can keep providing reliable local journalism to communities that need it.
So please, pitch in $5 or any amount you can now to help us reach this goal and keep up this essential work.
