In this season of giving thanks, we want to show our gratitude to all of you who subscribe to The Minute and our print and online edition. Thank you for being part of our community.
This week we are launching what we call a “sustainer” campaign to call for direct community support for the public service role of local journalism. We ask you to consider making a donation to sustain our work to provide trusted, local news that helps us all establish a shared set of facts so we can make good decisions together as a community. That’s what local news does, it pulls us together. And in these polarized times, it’s never been more important.
As part of this campaign, from now until the end of the year we are removing our paywall to show our appreciation to you for being part of our community.
We need your support and we hope you’ll join this campaign by donating today.
—From Charles Sennot, Publisher
