Cardinal News

Cardinal News exceeded its initial five-year plan within its first 18 months. Since its 2021 launch, the outlet grew donorship from 12 to 3,000, tripled its staff, quadrupled its annual budget and built a statewide audience. Policymakers rely on Cardinal News to provide information about the often neglected parts of Virginia, and their reporting has led to measurable change, including securing $11 million in aid for flood victims in a devastated Appalachian community.
