Cardinal News

                                                         

Cardinal News was formed in 2021 specifically to address “shrinking” news coverage in our part of Virginia. We tell the stories of Virginians who often get sidelined in the state's political, economic and cultural conversations simply because of where they live. We use a nonprofit, donor-based model for news coverage. We don’t put up a paywall; everyone, regardless of financial ability, deserves to be informed about what’s happening in their community.

"Hands down, the best news agency in the Commonwealth of Virginia." David, Roanoke

"I read Cardinal News every morning. Their coverage of the General Assembly is terrific, too."  Mindy, Virginia Beach

"It is so refreshing to have an independent news source for SWVA regional news."  Sarah, Montgomery County

"This is how reporting is supposed to work." Chris, Lynchburg
