When we launched the CityBeat Press Club, we weren’t sure what to expect.
The hope was that you liked us, that you really liked us. That you valued what we do, not only bringing necessary news to the forefront of conversation, but also our dedicated coverage of Cincinnati’s food, music, arts and culture scenes — our entertaining jaunts and deep dives into all of the people, places and things that add up to make the Queen City whole.
As of last week, you have donated $21,644, and 119 of you have signed up to make recurring contributions. To say we are humbled and grateful would be an understatement.
We wouldn’t be here without you. And we wouldn’t want to be.
Thank you for supporting CityBeat, really. We appreciate every single one of you and your help to keep our reporting free, local and independent. We are here to serve the public, and you have made sure we can continue to do that.
Here are our CityBeat Press Club members (and if you joined and aren’t on here, please don’t worry — I’ll be updating this as I get new Press Club member info!).
Thank you!
— Maija Zummo, Editor in Chief, and the rest of the CityBeat team
