Covering the costs of free news

We want local news to be accessible to everyone, so we keep The Lansing Journal free. But there are costs involved in reporting, publishing, and delivering reliable information. Your support helps cover costs such as:

  • The stipends we pay our freelance reporters
  • Hosting fees to keep our website up and running
  • The price of sending a daily email to thousands of subscribers
  • Basic business expenses — email, internet, business cards, insurance, all the mundane nitty-gritty that gets taken for granted

Your gifts make a difference!
