Summary
Vermont’s beloved community newspapers, including the Stowe Reporter and News & Citizen, have found a new home under the National Trust for Local News — a nonprofit dedicated to saving local journalism. Acquired for minimal cost, these papers will now receive vital philanthropic support to survive rising postal fees and plummeting ad revenue. This marks the Trust’s first entry into Vermont, where they’ll prioritize fair wages for reporters and avoid layoffs — all while resisting the pressure to grow quickly. With no immediate expansion plans, the focus is on sustaining essential local reporting and fighting “news deserts” one town at a time.
