Island Matters is now over 1-year old. You and hundreds of others responded with a level of readership and support we could have never imagined on our first day.

Our General Manager, Peggy-Sofia Buntin, and Reporter, Sarah Victoria Lozano, along with our Business Reporter Dan Cavazos write about the island and the people who live, work, and visit here. The future is promising if you and others continue to support us through subscribing, membership and generosity.

A growing community needs independent local media whose mission is community service rather than the bottom line. The work we do at Island Matters wouldn’t be possible without the support of readers like you, who understand the value of quality local journalism.

Island Matters stands out from other news organizations. We care deeply about the topics we cover, just as we care deeply about the community that reads our stories. Island residents make every publishing decision.

Our Readers Are the Heart of Island Matters

You give us story leads. You send us Letters to the Editor with your views on community problems and opportunities. That is why you mean so much to us. It is why we hear so often, “This Island Matters to me!”

What else matters to you? Please let us know. We appreciate your support of facts-only, non-profit news.

Let us know what matters to you at sarah@islandmatters.org.
