We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free.

We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

At around 8:00 p.m. on March 20, deputies responded to a call reporting a robbery at D’s Vape Shop, located at 18728 North Pointe Drive in Hagerstown. Employees told law enforcement that a white male, dressed in dark clothing with a hood, entered the store and issued threats to kill staff members. He then took marijuana-related products before attempting to leave the store.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
