From the Founders Desk Thanks to you, were growing

My Neighborhood News Network has experienced remarkable growth, doubling its budget and tripling its staff over the past two years, thanks to community donations and advertising sponsorships. The organization, which encompasses My Edmonds News, MLTnews, and Lynnwood Today, has added a housing-focused reporter through the Murrow News Fellow program. Their commitment to covering local issues includes city government, public safety, and education, as seen in recent projects like an online tax calculator for proposed Regional Fire Authority annexation. In October 2024, they announced plans for a $5 million endowment fund to secure long-term financial stability. This fund aims to ensure that over 200,000 residents continue receiving reliable local news.

The organization stresses the necessity of ongoing community support, encouraging both one-time and recurring donations. Readers report relying on their coverage to engage with local events and understand community issues better. The all-volunteer board of directors is dedicated to realizing this vision for sustainable local journalism.
