Why THIS Newsletter?
The money is public
I don’t monetize your attention.
Morristown Minute sells flat monthly ad space. An advertiser pays the same rate whether a story reaches 200 readers or 20,000, so traffic has no say in what gets covered. Read the rate card and confirm it for yourself.
Most local outlets in this market are measured on clicks, by a franchise system, an algorithm, or a corporate parent. This one is measured on whether the reporting was worth your time.
It comes from a person
I, Chris Connors, live in Morristown, NJ, write every article and send every newsletter, and put my name on it.
I also write The Minuteman, where complicated systems get taken apart and explained. Same reporter, different tools. If something in the newsletter is wrong, there’s one inbox to write to, and one person who answers. [Editor@MorristownMinute.org]
No paywall, no exceptions
Local news that costs money reaches the people who can pay for it. Morristown is a town where that would leave out a large share of the people who need the information most. Every issue, every archive story, free to everyone, permanently.
Know your town
It takes six seconds to sign up and about six minutes a week to read.
Your email goes toward one thing, the weekly roundup. No sales, no sharing, no ads in your inbox.
