If you’ve been looking into the Glass for any amount of time, you know that we wear our hearts on our sleeve when it comes to our community. That’s why I’m so humbled by your generosity and commitment to the health of local news. I have, since the beginning, viewed our news organization as an opportunity to create full-time, part-time, and freelance positions that pay competitive rates. I’ve been heartbroken watching jobs evaporate from the Berkshires as COVID-19 shuts down more and more businesses, some temporarily and some, possibly, forever.

Now is the time our writers want to be rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. I want to add to their talented ranks and keep compelling stories of all types flowing out of the Glass. The pandemic has done real damage to local business, which means that we can’t expect advertising revenue to return any time soon to pay to produce that journalism. Your contribution provides critical resources that allow us to continue to serve our audiences in this region we love so much.

Thank you for your generous support of local news.
