The Herald is in its 18th year, 16th year on-line.
The annual request from readers to keep it on-line is now.
The Herald needs a minimum amount of money to continue the non-profit shoe-string operation.
While we all work for free, including our writing contributors, money is needed to keep it going, and this year we need to purchase new computers,
Unfortunately, we are unable to shift money from our personal income to keep it alive.
Last year, donations were low, even though a number of readers most generously helped with the project.
People generally take for-granted that which is free, and assume that it will continue.
We are grateful for those who purchase banner advertising, but that advertising meets only a part of the operating costs.
The Herald, since its beginning, was never intended to make money.
The goal has been to provide local and regional news, report commonplace events and record the history of our rural life in the mountains of West Virginia.
We have maintained a vast archive of news, stories and photos to our readers for easy access.
The Herald has well over 2.2 million visitors a year, and is among West Virginia's most widely read Internet newspapers.
WE GRACIOUSLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT NOW
While many Herald readers donate $75, $100 or more, we suggest you consider an annual subscription donation of $50, although donations of any amount will certainly count and be appreciated.
