WESTERN SULLIVAN PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT, NY — Sure, your genes and environment play a role, but there is no gene or environment that can force you to be unhappy without your cooperation.

One reason River Reporter owner/publisher Laurie Stuart established the Rob Stuart Media Futures Fund at Wayne County Community Foundation is to foster civic engagement. That means developing relevant and nuanced news stories, empowering community journalists, establishing news ambassadorships, investing in student journalists, promoting media literacy, sponsoring nonprofit initiatives, and more. Local, independent news is news you can trust. We’re your neighbors, customers, and constituents, and we are navigating the challenges our region faces together, with you. Please show your support during NEPA Gives.

News ambassadors volunteer to attend local public meetings and submit recordings, observations, and official documents to us, so that we can provide them to you. We have news ambassadors in Honesdale, Hawley, and - pictured - Delaware Valley School District in Milford. These student journalists went above and beyond; we feel incredibly privileged to have them on our team. Thank you, Kaitlin, Kimberly, Emma, and Reilly (and Ava, not pictured). News ambassadorships are supported by grants and donations to our Rob Stuart Media Futures Fund at Wayne County Community Foundation. We welcome your help during NEPA Gives.

News editor Liam Mayo recently observed, “It’s becoming easier than ever to lose track of the local, with a national media news cycle that sucks up attention and inspires outrage. At the same time, focusing on what’s happening in your community and putting in the work to build fellowship is more important than ever.” Liam walks the walk, regularly reporting throughout Wayne and Pike counties. Under his leadership, our news staff has expanded, new community-specific resources are in development, and we have maintained our status as an award-winning, independent local newspaper. Support local journalists during NEPA Gives!
