Thank you for helping meet the match

This spring, the board members of LJMN Media offered a $75,000 matching challenge in support of The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News.

Thanks to readers, donors, neighbors and friends across the region, we met that challenge.

Every gift made during the campaign was matched dollar for dollar by members of our Board of Directors, doubling its impact. We are grateful to everyone who gave and to the board members who made the match possible.

The money raised will help support the work already underway across the organization: improving how the news reaches readers; expanding reporting; strengthening arts and lifestyle coverage; supporting student journalism; and continuing to produce the local news our communities rely on.

That work depends on many kinds of support. Subscriptions, advertising and donations all help keep The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News strong as nonprofit newspapers.

At a time when many local papers are shrinking or disappearing, this community continues to show that local journalism matters. We do not take that for granted.

Thank you for helping us meet this year’s challenge, and for continuing to support trusted, independent local news in Northwest Connecticut and eastern Dutchess County.

— James H. Clark, CEO/Publisher
