Exeter Observer is owned and funded by its readers instead of remote shareholders or individuals beholden to corporate advertisers or those in power.
This means we are free to focus on local news that matters instead of reproducing content marketing clickbait, press releases or public relations spin.
It is our paying subscribers who enable us to cover stories that the people and organisations we scrutinise would rather you did not see.
We need more of our readers to contribute to our running costs so we can keep publishing our independent investigative journalism.
143 of the 300 paying subscribers we need to break even have signed up so far.
Please help us reach our goal by joining them today from less than £2/week.
