Why Support Matters
Running a real local media platform takes more than a Facebook page and a loud mouth. It takes hosting, software, equipment, security, scanner tools, live maps, camera gear, OBS systems, time, travel, records requests, and constant platform upgrades.
Your support helps us stay independent and keep covering stories that matter to everyday people.

Support Does Not Buy Coverage
Donations and support help keep the platform running. They do not buy favorable reporting, silence criticism, remove stories, or control what we investigate.
Paid ads and sponsors are separate from donations and may be labeled as advertising when appropriate.
Built By The People. Backed By The People.
Every contribution helps keep local journalism alive and helps us keep building a stronger, faster, more useful media platform for the Mohawk Valley.
