The director, editors and board members of the nonprofit Streetcar Suburbs Publishing—College Park Here & Now’s parent company—want to extend a super-size thank you to all of our readers who donated during our fundraising campaign over the last couple of months.
The company, which also publishes Hyattsville Life & Times and The Laurel Independent, raised more than $17,000, thanks to 200-plus donors. A bonus: $15,000 of that amount will be matched by NewsMatch, a philanthropic movement to support public service journalism.
The publisher is planning several initiatives for 2025, including the launch of a searchable online calendar of local events; voter guides, campaign finance coverage and issue analysis for the March 4 special election for county executive; and continued focus on our core city coverage.—Sharon O’Malley
