Dear Reader,
Today is Giving Tuesday or, as news organizations like us prefer to call it, Giving News Day.
Nonprofit news is increasingly the best source for local, investigative and issues-based reporting. And it makes sense. Without big paper ads and subscriptions to sell, news organizations like ours are able to focus on our core mission — producing high-quality, truth-seeking journalism that’s accessible to everyone.
In nonprofit news, we’re all about serving the public, not making money. And that’s why readers frequently tell us that no other publication covers education like we do, with such depth, integrity and transparency. Here are some comments they have shared with us:

“I appreciate Hechinger Report's gold-standard education journalism and understand the critical importance of our non-profit media.” – Daniel K., annual supporter
“I am a teacher and middle school principal, and I find the timely, unbiased, and thoroughly researched information in this newsletter most informative.” – Anna L., monthly supporter
“I believe good journalism is vital for a functioning democracy.” – Claire S., first-time donor
“I live in the rural Arkansas Delta and I deeply appreciate Hechinger's focus on educational equity for students of color in rural areas. Thank you for shining a light on our nation's schools.” – Austin W., monthly supporter

And while we’re committed to keeping journalism with this kind of power free of charge, it’s still expensive to produce. Will you make a donation to The Hechinger Report, in honor of #GivingNewsDay?
We really hope your answer is yes. And if it is, we need your help — we are aiming to raise $5,000 by day’s end.
We know you have a lot of worthy choices when it comes to making your year-end donations. We hope that, as a reader of The Hechinger Report, you’ll demonstrate the value we add to your life by making a donation today. Your monthly gift of $15, $25 or more will make a real difference.
This #GivingNewsDay: Support reporting that's for the people, with the people.
