Dear Reader,

Today is Giving Tuesday or, as we like to call it, Giving NewsDay.

Nonprofit news is increasingly the best source for local, investigative and issue-based reporting. And it makes sense. Without big paper ads to sell, funding news comes down to a question of values. Do you value knowing the truth? Do you value smart, curious, skeptical people figuring out what’s really going on in the world and then presenting it to you in clear, compelling stories?

Reader, we really hope your answer is yes. And if it is, we need your help today.

We are trying to raise $5,000 by midnight tonight. Give now and get us to our goal.

Any donation you make today will be doubled, thanks to the generous folks at NewsMatch, a campaign to support nonprofit news. And if you agree to support us with a monthly donation, every one of your next 12 donations will be matched.

Thank you,
Nichole Dobo
