Exeter Observer is produced by a non-profit newsroom with two staff: Leigh Curtis and Martin Redfern.
We have so far published more than 1,000 news stories, features, investigations, community and culture previews, galleries, newsletters and special reports.
We work half of the week as volunteers and keep overheads low, serving 2.5 million page views a year to 60,000 regular readers on a tiny budget.
If you think what we do is good for our city please upgrade to a paid Exeter Observer subscription from less than £2/week.
170 of the 300 paying subscribers we need to break even have signed up so far.
We can get there with your support. We hope you'll join us today.
