If you are a monthly supporter of Vermont Daily Chronicle or have provided financial support during 2022, this message is not for you. Except to say, once again, thank you for your encouragement and generosity.
But if you haven’t supported VDC this year, I ask you to read on.
Unlike many Vermont news media, Vermont Daily Chronicle gets no money from foundations or deep-pocketed sugar daddies. There is no-one to write the Big Check that underwrites our efforts. Advertising contributes a small percentage of our budget revenue.
I can’t say it more clearly: readers alone keep Vermont Daily Chronicle going. Without supportive readers, a paper perishes.
We try to do our part. Monday – Friday our tiny team of volunteers and Staff Of One (Me!) provide unique, hard-hitting Vermont news. Every day we stand up for free speech in our news coverage, commentary, and comments section. We like to think we punch above our weight, hitting tough subjects with questions and perspectives no other Vermont media will touch:
Diversity/Equity/Inclusion in our schools –
Trans Randolph student admits staring at disrobing girls was “retaliation”
Eight-year-old shamed in Vermont school over pronouns
Milton parents petition against school equity policy
Abortion –
Every Vermont town and city voted for ‘reproductive liberty’ Article 22
Threats to First Amendment Rights –
Pastors respond to passage of gay marriage bill
No harvest for Burlington community gardeners refusing diversity pledge
The Continuing Covid-19 Response –
Pandemic-era Medicaid benefit extension likely, officials say
21 GOP governors – but not Phil Scott – seek end to military vax mandate
Vermont Climate Change Policy
Despathy: Climate change & cobalt blood money
….And much more.
