Community News Sharing Project<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What it is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing that small Vermont news organizations often lack the resources needed to cover legislative and statewide issues, VTDigger now provides its news stories to more than a dozen news outlets for free.<\/strong> Local papers can run our stories on their websites and in print, which means we are reaching more Vermonters than ever before, better fulfilling our mission. This work is funded through grants and donations supporting our General Operating Fund, which you can contribute to here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VTDigger offers original reporting and photography to weeklies with a circulation under 7,000. The participating news outlets may elect to share their journalism with VTDigger. Though that is not a prerequisite for taking part in the program, nearly all current partners have chosen to do so \u2014 building awareness for their reporting and providing our readers with more local coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
