Dear Readers,
First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to support our one and only fundraising campaign of the year. You are the reason we can keep doing what we do. We’re now breathing easier as the heat finally breaks, coffee in hand, and deadline anxiety still along for the ride.
For those who haven’t had a chance yet: no pressure. We’re halfway there and still trying to close the gap.
As major news outlets fold and independent publications shutter across the country, publications like The Chestertown Spy are becoming an endangered species. Since 2011, we’ve been here at 3 p.m. sharp each day—covering town meetings, highlighting local voices, and sharing stories that matter to Kent County. It’s local journalism by humans, for humans (with occasional interruptions from opinionated parrots).
If The Spy has ever made you think, laugh, rally, or breathe a little deeper about this town we share, we ask: help us stay and online. Help us stay free for everyone.
Let’s keep the porch light on for independent journalism—one reader at a time.
Please donate online here, or send a check to:
