The COVID-19 pandemic has brought local economies, and many of the advertisers who support our work, to a near standstill. This means independent news organizations like The Gazette are facing steep financial challenges while continuing to provide important local news and information as a public service.

We have made our most important coverage of the coronavirus outbreak and its impact free to everyone at thegazette.com because we feel it’s critical to provide vital information to our communities. Our team is working tirelessly to deliver news and safety coverage to the public during this unprecedented time.

If you believe local news is essential, especially during this crisis, please donate. Your contribution will support our mission to provide factual, relevant reporting to the public and help pay for news resources to cover the impact of the pandemic on our local communities. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of the employee-owners at The Gazette, thank you for your support during this critical time.
