Kingston Wire is in a tough spot. After two years of steady growth and expanding coverage, we continue to struggle on our road to sustainability. We are not funded by (or beholden to) the plutocrats, the hedge funds, or the over-fed among us - we are going it on our own.

And that independence means we rely on our subscribers, our advertisers, and first and foremost our donors to fund our day to day operations. To all of you - thank you all so much for your past support!

But we need your help now more than ever.

Why support Kingston Wire? Since our inception, we have:

• Reported many Kingston stories told nowhere else

• Partnered with Kingston High School to help train and inspire the next generation of journalists

• Held a regular presence at the Kingston Uptown Farmers Market, with our family goats

• Teamed with Kingston organizations and events like RUPCO, KUBA, the Snowflake Festival, Hooley On The Hudson, Seasoned Gives, the Kingston Artists Soapbox Derby, and many more

Despite the countless obstacles hurled at us, whether the tumult of the news industry or the impacts of COVID, over the last two years we have built up a diverse readership, and concentrated on all things central to Kingston, writing countless exclusives, and becoming a strong voice for local issues and individuals.

We’ve done this while preserving a valuable asset — community journalists who add context and history to our stories like only seasoned local reporters can. Kingston Wire is the only place to read insightful, Kingston-focused commentary and editorials. And sometimes we ruffle feathers. That’s the result of speaking truth to power.

But like any other small local business, a free press has to pay its bills, and we need your support to keep publishing. Help us continue to be a voice for our local community.

Thank you from the Kingston Wire Team!
