The Woodstock Independent always has sought to keep our community connection at the front of our mission.

Stories like that of the Donahue family make our paper unique. We just don't report the news, we bring local stories to the surface -- and we work hard to share the deeper story. Our dedicated reporters are invested in our community -- and that sets our paper apart.
