Thanks to each of you who has become a financial contributor supporting local journalism and InkFreeNews.com.

We are well on our way to gaining many new contributors by the end of the year, which is great news. And here’s why.

Your financial support helps us continue to make sense of the important issues in our communities, bringing you breaking news, features and local coverage that affects your daily life. We want to continue to build a strong foundation for independent, local journalism . . . news reporting that you can trust.

Only InkFreeNews attracts over 250,000 visitors each week. No other medium (print, internet, radio or TV) reaches this large of an audience in our county. And we want to continue to deepen our roots in our communities.

Financial contributions ensure that we can continue to invest in the local journalism that you have come to expect from the InkFreeNews newsroom of Dan Spalding, Lasca Randels and Liz Shepherd. It also helps us support young, up-and-coming journalists like Leah Sander, who joined our newsroom only recently.

We have a strong commitment to report the local news that empowers you by giving you the information you need and is all important to you.

So, if you haven’t yet, please consider supporting InkFreeNews.com with a contribution today in support of local news that matters to you.
