The only way to cover the cost of producing and publishing independent public interest journalism is by readers helping to pay for it.
Each of Exeter Observer's paying subscribers keeps us up and running for one day each year by chipping in less than £2/week.
Our members contribute more towards our running costs and get more in return.

If you think Exeter needs this kind of journalism then help us cover our costs all year round by joining them today.
