Gotta Know Medford is powered directly by the community it serves. There’s no corporate owner. No hedge fund. No nonprofit board.
Where your support goes
Every dollar flows into:
• Attending and reporting on city meetings
• Interviewing Medford officials, neighbors and experts
• Writing, editing and fact-checking
• Maintaining a fast, reliable news site and newsletter
• Public records, data fees and research tools
• Responsible business operations
There is no waste, no print overhead, no bloated payroll — just journalism.
Membership
We keep our membership structure simple, affordable and honest. No paywall. No gimmicks. No perks. You support the journalism — and that support makes the journalism possible.
Monthly and annual contributions – which we call memberships – make it possible for us to take on more time-intensive reporting: election guides, zoning explainers and investigative follow-ups. This tier helps stabilize the newsroom long-term.
