This Giving Tuesday ...
... Help us add 100 paid subscribers and expand our coverage of the news that matters in the 540.
The FXBG Advance recently celebrated its first anniversary, a year filled with the most in-depth, impactful journalism in our region. And that’s no lie — that’s the opinion of our readers.
Here are just some of the hundreds of supportive comments we’ve received this year:
“Top notch reporting”
“Independent and intelligent writing!”
“Adele is an excellent reporter. She's been able to write cohesive reports about Spotsy School Board meetings, in spite of the fact that they have often been chaotic. I'm grateful to have this news source.”
“It's local, accurate, and detailed. Written with reporters who are familiar and dedicated to regional issues, and who live here.”
We are able to do this work because our subscribers support us. This Giving Tuesday, help us reach our goal of adding 100 paid subscribers to our lineup of readers who already support the Advance financially.
One Hundred new subscribers paying $8 a month allows us to:
Expand our area-best education reporting
Grow our transportation coverage
Shine a brighter spotlight on the arts
Accelerate our investigative reporting
And so much more …
Every day, we give our best to the community we call home. With your support, we will continue to provide the best reporting in our region, for you.
