Support Independent Journalism in Virginia.

Dogwood is dedicated to making sure Virginians have access to clear, factual reporting about the issues shaping our commonwealth—from decisions in Richmond to the real-life impact on communities across Virginia.

But across the country, local news is disappearing. As newspapers close and coverage shrinks, too many communities are left without reliable information. In those gaps, misinformation spreads—and people are left without the tools they need to stay informed and engaged.

That’s where we come in.

Every day, Dogwood delivers people-centered, fact-based journalism through social media, our website, and newsletters sent straight to your inbox. We focus on the stories that matter most—while also highlighting the shared experiences that connect communities from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads, Richmond to Roanoke, and everywhere in between.

We’re proud to be a newsroom rooted in Virginia, telling the stories of the people who call this commonwealth home. And we believe independent, transparent journalism is essential to a healthy, informed community.

We also believe it should be accessible to everyone. That’s why there are no paywalls. No subscription fees.

But that means we rely on support from readers like you.

If you value trusted local news, consider making a donation today. Your contribution helps us expand our reporting, reach more communities, and continue delivering the stories Virginia needs—free for all.

Support Dogwood. Support Virginia.
