    The impact of local news is immeasurable

    Trusted, local journalism is essential for a thriving community and a healthy democracy, and The Daily Herald covers Snohomish County like no other institution or organization can. We are the community’s watchdog and storyteller, and we have been for more than 120 years.

    Our reporters are out in the community, listening to you, telling your stories, and lifting up the voices of those who often feel unheard. Our award-winning journalism often sparks change and sets the agenda for public policy debate.

    NEW! Community Impact Report

    Check out our new 2022 Community Impact Report to discover how the Herald’s local journalism makes a difference in Snohomish County. The report is full of comments from readers who share how our stories inform, inspire, or affect them.

    Herald 2022 Community Impact report

    Community-funded journalism lets you have an impact

    Like many newsrooms across the country, The Daily Herald has established several journalism initiatives that enable us to expand our reporting to meet community needs.

    This community-funded approach to journalism enables individuals, businesses, and foundations to support local reporting that benefits us all.

    Investigative Journalism Fund

    Investigative journalism is one of the most time-intensive and expensive types of reporting. It holds those in power accountable, validates those who often feel invisible, and seeks to right wrongs. This fund is a partnership between The Daily Herald and Journalism Funding Partners, tax ID #84-2968843, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.

    Environmental and Climate Change Reporting Fund

    This ambitious initiative sheds light on how climate change impacts Snohomish County’s environment, economy, and health and what our community is doing about it. This fund is a partnership between The Daily Herald and Journalism Funding Partners, tax ID #84-2968843, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.

    Join others who donate to community-funded journalism

    More than 1,500 individuals, nonprofits, corporations, local businesses, and philanthropic foundations that believe in the importance of local, trusted news have given to our community-funded journalism initiatives.

    “I always read the paper. I trust it. As much as I can trust anything.”
    - Jennifer Brinkley

    “In my 16 years of living in Everett, I have often felt voiceless and invisible. Your article has given me a sense of validation and worth. I will remember it always."
    - Stephen Teixeira

    “I gave to the Investigative Journalism Fund because I think it is important for our democracy and more locally to help people make good decisions.”
    - Kathie Roon

    “To have your paper focusing on this climate problem which most people just want to ignore is so wonderful. You will have an impact that far eclipses that individuals such as myself.”
    - Dean Enell

    Stay informed

    The last two decades have seen a dramatic loss in local newsrooms, reduced staffing levels, and economic challenges. This is sobering news because communities with less local news experience increased polarization and government corruption and a decline in public engagement and rates of voting.
