Thanks for joining us Tuesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to find out how we all can help save local news. That’s our mission at the New Hampshire Center of Public Interest Journalism. email me at nancywestnews@gmail.com or call 603-738-5635.

Courtney Lewis of the Institute for Nonprofit News gave a terrific overview of our upcoming NewsMatch fundraiser where all donations up to $1,000 will be doubled and any donation more than $1,000 will be announced as a Local Match. Nancy West spoke about why she, her son Montana West and friend Bob Charest founded the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism in 2015. Steve Taylor shared his vast experience in everything from his journalism days to becoming Commissioner of Agriculture to his farming days. He is still milking cows when not serving on our board of directors.

Tying us altogether, not literally, was Beverly Stoddart, an awesome author and speaker who also serves on our board.
