Exeter Observer publishes the journalism our local democracy needs: independent, investigative and in the public interest.
It can do this because it is the city's only news organisation that doesn't have to answer to advertisers, remote shareholders or those in power.
Instead, its not-for-profit business model is simple.
It depends on readers like you to sustain our reporting by contributing a small amount each month.
Lots of people currently chip in like this, but it's not enough to cover our costs. We need more paying subscribers to continue publishing.
127 of the 300 readers we need have signed up so far. Help us reach our goal by joining them today, if you haven't already.
