Support local journalism with a paid subscription
Help keep the Laramie Reporter’s local, in-depth coverage free for everyone by purchasing a subscription.
The Laramie Reporter is adding paid subscriptions. If you can’t afford one — don’t worry! Everything will still be available to everyone. Both paid and free subscribers will receive all the same newsletters, all the same stories, all the same updates.
If financially supporting the Laramie Reporter would be difficult for you, then please don’t. Yes, I need to pay my landlord, but so do you. You can continue supporting this site and the coverage here by sharing stories, and by inviting others to subscribe or to follow the Laramie Reporter on Facebook.
But if you could spare just a few dollars a month, it would help me devote more time to this local project and to expand my coverage.
Over the past year, I have brought you local, in-depth reporting on a wide range of current affairs. Slumlords and their practices. Police accountability. Militia recruitment. Campaign finances. Official resignations. Public art. The spread of the pandemic and its impact on our hospital. Even the questionable behavior of particular city councilors.
I published some of these stories in WyoFile and the Laramie Boomerang. But even more were provided here, for free, for everyone. Your support will enable me to keep doing that — to keep informing the community about what their local government is up to, to keep investigating those in positions of power, to keep being the public’s eyes and ears at forums, meetings and debates.
Your support will help me comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Subscriptions are $5/month or $55/year.
If you have the ability, you can also become a Founding Member with a suggested donation of $200/year (although you can alternatively enter any amount above the typical yearly subscription). Founding Member status does not buy you special access to additional posts or coverage, but it does go a long way to making sure everyone in Albany County — regardless of income or ability — can stay informed about happenings in their community.
