Community members have pitched in to raise approximately $91,000 for the Valley News, reports NBC 5.
Companies throughout the country have been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the Valley News publication has been no different. To date, the newspaper has had to lay off five full-time employees, along with three part-time employees due to the financial strain. They have also been cutting content, and number of pages in the daily print.
Recently, the paper began a fundraiser. As of Monday night, the paper had raised around $91,000, not counting money received through paper mail.
According to publisher Dan McClory, the funds will be used to counter losses the paper is taking.
