The Charlotte News wants your help reporting on our wonderful community. We’re looking for a dozen junior reporters to join our newsroom once a week for an afternoon of investigating, interviewing, writing and editing.
In our readers survey last year, you asked for more coverage of local news in the paper. As the headlines above show, we heard you. We’re continuing to enhance our coverage of our town, with increased reporting of local news and more feature stories about the people and businesses that make Charlotte a vibrant and beautiful place in which to live.
Do you get excited over a municipal government meeting? Are you nosy about what’s going on with your neighbors?…
On Sunday, May 5, Philo Ridge Farm hosted a family-friendly fundraiser for The Charlotte News. That is, not The Citizen, as Vince Crockenberg, president of the board, made clear.“We are not this paper,” he told the sizable crowd, holding up the latest edition of the for-profit paper, The Citizen.
The May 2 issue of the paper was Melissa O’Brien’s last as the news editor of the paper; she is, however, staying on as a freelance writer until after her daughter, Coco, graduates CCS in mid-June.
What a wonderful evening at Philo Ridge Farm on May 5—sunny day, big crowd, great music and a spectacular venue. All of us here at The Charlotte News would like to thank owners Peter Swift and Diana McCargo, as well as our hosts for the day, Meriwether Hardie and Tad Cooke, for inviting the community to the Farm as a way to support the paper. The tours were special (the sheep!) and the food was exceptional. By the way, the farm market is now officially open for the summer season from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day.

In 2004, Dave founded Stony Loam Farm in East Charlotte. On 32 acres of certified organic land, Dave raises a variety of vegetables that he sells throughout Chittenden County to supermarkets and restaurants, at his own CSA on the Hinesburg Road and at the Shelburne Farmers Market.
To bring you The Charlotte News every two weeks throughout the year we depend on three sources of support: the businesses that regularly advertise with us, the volunteer writers and photographers who provide content for the paper and, importantly, the donors who contribute to our annual fundraising campaigns.
On behalf of the board of directors and the staff of The Charlotte News, I want to express our deep sorrow at Alice’s death and our lasting appreciation for the extraordinary contributions she has made to the paper over the past decade.
Two findings stand out: First, more of you read the print version of the paper than the online version. And second, we need to include more local news in each issue.
The News is delighted to welcome intern, Champlain College student, Violet Bell.
The Charlotte News is Vermont’s oldest nonprofit community newspaper, and we are looking for someone to join us as our manager of ad sales.
Monica Marshall, our advertising manager, is leaving the paper after this week’s issue. She has been our ad manager for the past three years and before that did a similar stint for us between 2002 and 2005.
Fundraising. Thank you to everyone who responded to our 2017 fundraising appeals. We finished the year having met our fundraising goal, and because of the support of both our donors and our loyal advertisers we enter 2018 in good shape financially. We look forward to your continued support in the new year.
