A message for the locals

Thank you so much for being a dedicated reader this year! We have grown to over 3400 subscribers and we continue to receive amazing feedback about how our journalism is impacting the community. Here's a quote from one our readers:

"Thanks for all you do to keep Fort Wayne apprised of all the happenings.  I appreciate the informative news about new and existing businesses and how you always encourage the community to support local. I can honestly say that because of you, I’ve checked out more new local businesses than ever." 

If you didn't know already, our publication is almost entirely funded by our paid members. Without them, our journalism would not be possible.

So far we have 327 paid members supporting us for a yearly revenue of just $23,000. We would love to eventually reach a yearly revenue of $50,000 to keep our publication sustainable.

Being funded by paid members allows us to keep our publication free from intrusive and annoying ads and keeps us from relying on big sponsors which can add bias to reporting.

Would you support us today by becoming a paid member?

What do you get? For just $6 per month (or $5 per month paid yearly), you'll receive our premium newsletter each week, covering additional news updates and events and helping you become a more informed citizen of Fort Wayne.

We also partner with a local business each month to give you an exclusive deal that covers the cost of your subscription. This month paid members get $5 off any purchase at Fancy & Staple!

If you've enjoyed reading our work and believe in what we're doing, please support us today, even if it's just for one month. Every little bit helps!

Thank you for your consideration and readership. See you around!

Your Local Editor,

Kara Hackett
