Local news is disappearing across the country. Traditional print newspapers are slowly dying off, and our competitors in Vermilion rely on outdated print media that fewer people read. Without timely and accessible news, communities lose accountability, visibility, and connection.
That’s why Vermilion Daily exists. We provide free, mobile-friendly news, ensuring everyone in our community has access to the stories that matter most. We never charge for the news, but to keep this service alive, we need your financial support. By joining our Patreon, you’re investing in modern, accessible news for our town, ensuring we can cover local government, events, businesses, and everything that makes Vermilion special.
With your support, we’ll continue to provide the news Vermilion depends on—and offer perks to show our appreciation!
