Report for America corps member Theo Wells-Spackman will cover wealth, poverty and economic inequality for VTDigger starting in July, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Dear Reader,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affording a life in Vermont is becoming harder for more people and the consequences are real. From housing and child care to health care and food, many Vermonters are navigating rising costs with fewer options and more stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too often, public conversations rely on averages that mask the realities many Vermonters face. At VTDigger, we believe journalism has a responsibility to go deeper and reflect lived experiences, expose systemic gaps and ask tough questions about what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re launching a new reporting beat focused on wealth, poverty and economic inequality<\/strong> in Vermont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report for America is helping fund this new beat. But to fully sustain it, we need our readers to chip in for the remainder. Our goal is to raise $50,000 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a generous local donor, all gifts made by Saturday, June 14 at 11:59 p.m. will be matched dollar for dollar. Will you double your impact<\/a> and help us launch this new beat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Double your impact<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A familiar name. A critical new role.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud to share that Theo Wells-Spackman<\/strong> will join VTDigger in July as our newest Report for America corps member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theo, who grew up in Weybridge and interned in our newsroom last summer, recently graduated from Princeton University. As part of the national Report for America<\/strong> service program \u2014 which places talented journalists in local newsrooms across the country to report on undercovered topics \u2014 Theo will investigate the economic policies and systems that shape life for Vermonters across income levels, regions and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his previous stint at VTDigger, Theo covered a range of topics including flood recovery and the Vermont state college system with empathy, insight and rigor. We\u2019re thrilled to welcome him back and excited to see what he uncovers next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we can\u2019t do this without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every donation through Saturday will be matched and bring us closer to launching a beat that delivers real answers. Any gift up to $500<\/a> will be doubled and help us launch this beat with care, accuracy and a community mandate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Support the new beat<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Theo\u2019s reporting will focus on the root causes of Vermont\u2019s affordability crisis, follow the flow of public funding and elevate the experiences of those most affected by economic hardship. He\u2019ll look closely at proposed solutions and report back on what\u2019s actually making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you believe Vermont needs deeper, clearer, more consistent reporting on the rising cost of living, now is the time to act. Help us build a beat that delivers answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your donation toda<\/a>y will go twice as far to support hard-hitting, solutions-focused journalism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
