Hoptown Chronicle exists to provide fact-based reporting that helps residents make informed decisions and better understand the community. We’re here to provide public service journalism you won’t find anywhere else.
This is essential work, especially these days, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of community members like you.
We’re excited to announce today an opportunity to make your support go even further. Thanks to NewsMatch, a national effort to support nonprofit news organizations like Hoptown Chronicle, we receive matching funds for reader donations.
From today until Dec. 31, every dollar you give will be doubled — and invested into producing fair, fact-based reporting about Hopkinsville and Christian County. NewsMatch also will match any new monthly donors 12 times. (So, if you sign up to give $20 per month, NewsMatch will contribute $240.)
This is the best time to make sure your gift has the biggest impact.
Hoptown Chronicle is committed to covering issues that are often overlooked or misunderstood. We provide a way for residents and people who care about Hopkinsville and Christian County to stay up-to-date with coverage on local government, business and development, arts, culture and history that are unique to our community.
We couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you for reading Hoptown Chronicle and making your contribution when it matters most.
