Fig City News provides local news, community announcements, and information to Newton – weekly since June 2022.
Next year, we want to expand our reporting significantly, and we want to provide more information services to more readers across Newton. All of this requires funding.
This is where you come in.
We rely on your donations – not on advertising or subscriptions.
We pay freelance journalists for their work. We pay interns and student reporters. We pay monthly for web and email service, supplies, and marketing.
Our core team members – Adam, Martina, Jack, Lucia, Alan, Tami, and Bruce – are not paid for reporting, editing, or other responsibilities. (We have offered to pay them, but all have declined.)
In the new year, we aim to bring on paid reporting staff, at least part-time.
So as this year winds up, we hope that you will support our efforts by making a tax-deductible donation – one-time or monthly – to support Fig City News, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
We are grateful for all the feedback we have received. Readers say our work is helpful, even essential.
Our readers are our strength. Thank you for being part of bringing the news to Newton.
