We are excited today to receive funding from Press Forward, the nationwide initiative strengthening communities through local news! We’re in great company: 205 small, local newsrooms across the U.S. are sharing $20 million for reporting on communities and regions that have traditionally gone uncovered.

Since 2012, we have been on the frontlines designed to support and project a more inclusive social narrative, to promote entrepreneurship, and to be a beacon for art, culture, and politics in the Central Virginia region. A review panel of national foundation and journalism leaders read about how our publication makes a difference right here at home and awarded us $100,000 in funding over 2 years.
