Dear Reader,

What does it mean to focus local?

There’s a lot of news coming out of Washington these days, and while some celebrate the new actions and policies, others tell us it’s what keeps them up at night. It’s a common reason people tell us they donate — because they know that a free press is one of the strongest safeguards we have to make sense of events and hold power to account.

The journalism that independent newsrooms like ours provide shines light on the impacts of policies and official decisions, connecting the dots between government and local people’s livelihoods, health, housing, opportunities and expression. It zooms in from a headline to a house near you.

But journalism is also a powerful way to add context, nuance and depth to what’s happening around us — the people showing up in our communities, schools and organizations, working to address needs and support their neighbors. Local storytelling can connect us to others’ experiences, inspire us to be involved, bring us beyond paralyzing emotions and into a state of thought or action.

Whether what’s happening here feels everyday or extraordinary, ubiquitous or unprecedented, with your help we can continue sharing information, resources and storytelling that matter for our region. We’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 by Sept. 27. It’s ambitious, but we believe our readers understand the value of the service we provide. If you find our work useful and meaningful, please help us continue it by making a donation today. ([link removed])

Thanks for your readership and support.

Sincerely,

Halle Stockton

Co-Executive Director, Editor-in-Chief
