Planet Princeton is a locally owned and operated independent online media outlet, part of a vanishing breed in the United States. We are dedicated to delivering local, independent, reliable and accountable journalism.

The coronavirus crisis has brought local economies to near standstill, and traditional media advertising along with them. That new financial challenge means local, independent news organizations like Planet Princeton must fight for their own survival while continuing to provide important local news and information as a public service during this unprecedented situation. Local news matters now more than ever.

If you believe local news and information are critical, especially during this crisis, please donate to this new fund to help keep us on the job. Your contributions will help us continue to cover the pandemic and its impact on the communities, organizations and businesses in the Princeton region.

The funding will help us provide the reporters and resources needed to keep track of all the COVID-19 information and data being released, ensuring you get the latest, most critical local news. Your support will also help us cover the long-term impact of the crisis on our region and economic recovery efforts.

While we continue to cover the pandemic, rest assured in knowing that Planet Princeton will continue to fulfill our role as a vigilant watchdog for our readers' interests. Our job is to ensure freedom of information is not just an expression, but a mission to keep our community informed.

All donations to this fund are tax-deductible. Thank you for your support of Planet Princeton during this critical time.
