Now, more than ever, our local news media is a lifeline for all of us. Most of us are turning to our online news sources for critical information about current events – COVID-related, community information, and everything in between.

And now, they need our help. Just like so many businesses, our local publications have been negatively impacted financially by the current downturn.

We can help them by paying ahead on subscriptions, by giving gift subscriptions, by buying advertising. Brand awareness is important for businesses, even when – especially when – things are slow. Check your local media sites for information on how you can support them so they’ll be here for us when we need them.
