From local business happenings and county board meetings to public safety incidents and new development projects, FFXnow is staying busy trying to keep you informed on all the latest news from Fairfax County.
Quality local journalism requires time and funding, though. To supplement advertising revenue and give readers an option for directly supporting our work, we launched the FFXnow Press Club over the summer.
In exchange for a subscription of $10 a month or $100 for a full year, members get a sneak preview of each day’s morning notes and upcoming stories, along with a pro version of the daily afternoon newsletter with larger photos, article summaries and no banner ads.
The primary benefit, however, is knowing that your contribution will help us keep the stories churning out and accessible to all without paywalls.
In addition to paying our small full-time staff, which includes three reporters, Press Club subscriptions will support the freelance journalists we’ve been able to bring on board starting this month. Their work so far has included coverage of proposed changes to Fairfax City’s CUE bus system, a plan to expand a private school in Wolf Trap, and the challenges facing local nonprofits, among other stories.
Signs of economic trouble for the D.C. region continue to emerge, as the federal government shutdown persists, so we understand if another subscription might not be on the top of your priority list. But if you are able to afford the financial commitment, please consider showing your support for local news and signing up for the FFXnow Press Club today.
If you’re not able or ready to subscribe, you can still sign up for our daily email newsletter to make sure you don’t miss our latest stories. The support of Press Club members and all readers is deeply appreciated.
