Thank you for considering a tax-deductible contribution to FlaglerLive.

Local journalism matters. Independent local journalism matters even more.

Every day, FlaglerLive reports on the people, institutions and issues that shape life in Flagler County. We cover the stories that make headlines, the stories that might otherwise go unnoticed, and the stories that help you understand what is happening in your own backyard.

Our mission is journalism first. Not entertainment. Not marketing. Not content for content’s sake.

That means asking questions, digging deeper, challenging assumptions and holding people and institutions accountable. It means reporting the news even when the story is difficult, unpopular or inconvenient. And it means recognizing that our job isn’t to tell readers what they want to hear. Our job is to tell them what we believe they need to know.

We do that independently, without a corporate newsroom, outside investors or a distant audience to answer to. Our responsibility is to the community we serve.

That independence matters.

We sometimes publish stories that make advertisers unhappy. We sometimes ask questions that public officials would rather not answer. And we sometimes pursue stories simply because we believe the public has a right to know.

We can’t do that work without the freedom to make those choices.

FlaglerLive is a small nonprofit operation, and we support our journalism through community support and advertising. We deliberately maintain that mix because relying too heavily on any one source can threaten our independence.

Reader support gives us something especially valuable: the ability to put journalism first.

It doesn’t have to be a lot. A one-time gift helps. A small recurring contribution helps even more by giving us a dependable foundation for the work ahead.

And you don’t have to agree with everything you read on FlaglerLive to believe in what we do. In fact, you may disagree with a story, a headline, an editorial or even our choice to cover something. That’s okay. A healthy community needs a place for disagreement, debate, scrutiny and free expression.

Your contribution helps keep that place here.
