Local media is disappearing... Take a stand?

93 of you have stepped up so far in our Spring campaign. Here's what that means.

93 of you have stepped up so far in our Spring campaign. Here's what that means.

Hi there,

We're halfway through our spring supporter drive — and 93 of you have become paid members of Capital Daily since we launched it.

That's not a small thing. Ninety-three people decided that local journalism was worth paying for. Ninety-three people read our emails and said yes instead of scrolling past.

We still need 107 more to hit our goal of 200 by the end of May.

Here's why that number matters: when we hit 200, we have the budget certainty to commit to the reporting we've planned for the rest of the year — investigations, municipal coverage, stories that wouldn't get told otherwise. When we fall short, we make cuts. It's that direct.

If you've been thinking about it, this is the moment. Not because the deadline is tomorrow — it isn't — but because the people who join now are the ones who make it easier for the next 107 to follow.

Join Capital Daily as a paid member for as little as $2 a week.
