Delivering worthwhile local news is truly a community-wide effort. It takes a dedicated crew and a loyal readership working together to make it happen. If you appreciate what we do, please consider supporting us today!

While hedge funds and vulture capitalists dismantle their legacy newspapers brick by brick, we’re on a mission of rebuilding local news from the ground up.

Our Fall 2021 Supporter Drive is underway. We’re looking to add 150 additional supporters by December 20. These supporters will help fund more reporting and content in Newport – as we add a Newport-focused correspondent to our crew in the next couple of weeks.
