Celebrate Independence Day by supporting independent local journalism

Our journalists, who live and work in the communities they serve, dedicate their careers to uncovering the truth. They dig deep into the issues that affect quality of life, watch out for waste and fraud, and hold elected officials accountable to preserve our democratic values.

This week, the Ohio Associated Press Media Editors announced that the Dayton Daily News won the annual First Amendment Award “for a distinguished contribution to freedom of the press.”

By subscribing, you empower the work that uncovers stories that matter all of us, strengthening our democracy by fostering informed and engaged citizens.

Some of the journalists supported by your subscription:

London Bishop

Our community needs professional, well-trained, accountable law enforcement. That’s why we sent reporter London Bishop to attend the Sinclair Police Academy. For six months she learned alongside recruits what it takes to wear the badge.

Visit the Behind the Badge page on our website for more from this project.

Avery Kreemer

Avery Kreemer brings straightforward coverage of statewide issues to our readers. He’s covered our communities since 2022 and also authors the weekly Ohio Politics newsletter, bringing you a closer look at the Ohio Statehouse—what your elected representatives are doing and how local tax dollars are being spent.
