Banner with various school supplies and text that says 15 years The Hechinger Report


Dear Reader,

In honor of our 15th anniversary, we’ve identified 15,000 of our most active readers. And we know from our data that you're one of them! This tells our team of newsletter writers and editors something important: You value the work we do.

We’ve noticed that readers like you are the people who step up to donate to ensure we can continue to provide news and information that makes a difference in people’s lives.

Other engaged readers — and now donors — have told us they read our newsletters because:

- It’s important to stay informed on what is happening in schools.
- Our newsletter helped them understand a complex issue.
- We cover issues that mainstream media doesn’t cover.
- Our journalism helps them professionally.

As one of our most devoted readers, if you donate today, we’ll send you a special print newspaper edition of The Hechinger Report to say thanks.

Reader support is critical. It provides funds to send reporters to rural school districts, purchase equipment, issue FOIA requests, and give reporters the time and resources to follow a story where it leads. We form relationships with hard-to-reach communities. I grew up in the mountains of rural western Pennsylvania, so I know personally what a difference this work makes.

We see our newsletters as a way to reach readers — quickly and easily — who care about education with timely and in-depth reporting. So first, thank you for reading! Without your dedication to education, our newsletters wouldn’t exist.

If you can support our reporting with $25, $50, or any amount meaningful to you, it will go toward important and influential journalism.

Count me in!

Thank you.

Nichole Dobo
Director of Audience Development, The Hechinger Report
