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

Today we\u2019re launching our Fall Member Drive to raise $150,000 for independent reporting that helps Vermonters make decisions about their lives and their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gift of $14 a month<\/a> \u2014 less than 50 cents a day \u2014 keeps this service strong and free for every neighbor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you believe in the power of independent, trustworthy Vermont news, please become a monthly sustaining member<\/a> today. If monthly isn\u2019t right, a one-time gift<\/a> in any amount still helps us reach our Fall Member Drive goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Become a sustainer<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Across the country, local journalism is disappearing. Since I began reporting for Vermont newspapers in the early 2000s, the number of journalists in the United States has fallen by more than 75%. Today, one in three counties has no full-time local reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Vermont is an exception because of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report<\/a> from Muck Rack and Rebuild Local News reveals that Vermont maintains the highest number of local journalists per capita in the nation, thanks in large part to VTDigger and the readers who support us. While we still have a long way to go to restore our press corps, this is an achievement worth celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished together. But keeping Vermonters informed takes ongoing commitment. When we say we can\u2019t do it without you, we truly mean it: The only way to keep VTDigger strong is with continued support from readers like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you value independent, in-depth reporting that explains complex issues, connects neighbors and holds power to account, I invite you to become a sustaining member<\/a> today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Become a sustainer<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Give once<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Locally owned newsrooms like ours prioritize accuracy, depth and community focus. That work requires time, editors, document requests, travel and follow-up. It\u2019s only possible through reader support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monthly support<\/a> gives us the resources to stay on top of the issues that matter to you like housing, the environment, immigration, education and rural healthcare. It means we can have reporters in the Statehouse, attend court hearings and knock on doors to include the voices of everyday Vermonters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we can keep our community informed, connected and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sky Barsch
CEO, VTDigger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

P.S.<\/strong> Make a gift<\/a> during our Fall Member Drive and you\u2019ll be entered to win one of two $250 gift cards to Johnson Woolen Mills<\/a>. New monthly sustainers will also receive a VTDigger sustainer decal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
