With your help, we doubled down on local news

In May we announced a $100,000 matching challenge presented by LJMN board members. Thanks to you, your neighbors and friends, we exceeded the challenge and raised more than $135,000 for a combined total of more than $235,000.

Because of your generosity, we will be able to make investments in critical digital innovations in staffing and technology across the organization, especially in the newsroom. This means broader and deeper news, arts and lifestyle coverage delivered to you wherever you prefer to read it.

Your generosity has kept The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News very much alive and thriving as a nonprofit. Our papers — and websites — continue to lead the way for a resurgence of community journalism across America. This is especially important during these times of economic uncertainty and mounting pressure on the free press.

As we have said in the past, we are one of the oldest independent local newspapers in the country, and our ambition is to remain one of the best.


We are pleased, too, to welcome Nathan Miller to the managing editor role at The Millerton News, and Aly Morrissey as reporter (see story here).

Together, with a team of correspondents, they will deliver the news and information that is vital to life in neighboring communities in eastern Dutchess County, including Millerton/North East, Amenia, Pine Plains, Millbrook/Washington.
