Dear reader,

I’m writing to ask for your support in our Fall Supporter Drive. As a local independent online news publisher, we rely on the generosity of our readers to keep our award-winning journalism alive.

Last month, we published 479 stories, many of them originals that could only be found on WhatsUpNewp.com. This is only possible because of the support of our readers.

Becoming a What’sUpNewp Supporter will help our contributing crew of eighteen continue to produce the high-quality journalism you’ve come to expect from What’sUpNewp. We’re committed to informing you about the issues that matter most to you and your community.

Our goal during this campaign is to add 100 supporters. This will allow us to continue our reporting on all that’s happening, new, and to do out in Newport and across the island. If you haven’t noticed, more often than not, many of the things we report on, stories we share, and conversations we have, can only be found on What’sUpNewp.

Every supporter will make a difference. Please consider becoming a supporter today to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Ryan M. Belmore
