The Edgewater Gazette has officially launched its new Membership Program, and it’s already making waves—not for limiting access, but for expanding opportunity.
In an era where many news outlets are locking content behind paywalls, the Gazette is doubling down on its commitment to free, accessible journalism. “Our articles will always be free,” the editorial team emphasized. “Because everyone deserves access to local news and community stories.”
So what’s the membership for?
According to the Gazette, it’s about supporting the platforms that keep Edgewater informed, connected, and inspired. The funds raised will go toward improving reader experience, expanding coverage, and hosting more community-driven events.
And yes—members get real perks:
-
✅ Automatic RSVP status for all Gazette and Youth Foundation events
-
🎟️ Free access to all paid events—no tickets, no hassle
-
🗞️ Top priority for news submissions—members’ stories go to the front of the line
-
🎉 Automatic entry into every contest hosted by the Gazette
“This is about building a stronger relationship with our readers,” said Gazette editor-in-chief Dana Morales. “We want to reward those who support us—not just with better content, but with real access and recognition.”
The Gazette’s move comes at a time when local journalism is under pressure nationwide. By offering a membership that enhances community engagement without restricting content, Edgewater Gazette is setting a new standard for how news organizations can thrive while staying true to their mission.
Membership is now open. Residents can sign up online or at upcoming Gazette-sponsored events.
