Keep The Village Sun Shining Bright

For The Village Sun to keep shining its award-winning light on local news and culture in Downtown Manhattan, we absolutely rely on our readers' support. Yes, advertising is a part of our financial picture, but as a four-year-old, start-up publication, we rely on funding from a number of different streams, and a critically important one is reader contributions. Please support local, 100 percent-independent community news — news that you often won't find anywhere else. The Village Sun is not part of a media conglomerate, publishing "shared content" lifted from its chain newspapers from all over the city. It's not a vanity newspaper full of fluff that you can take or leave. We don't peddle conspiracy theories, like some other papers. The Village Sun's only agenda is to provide local news — online daily at thevillagesun.com and in print monthly. Your contribution will help fund our operating costs, so we can keep publishing, including our popular monthly print version (yay print!), which costs money to print and lay out, around $1,000 per issue. Please support The Village Sun so that it doesn't burn out and can keep on shining! Your financial contribution really makes a difference. Thank you!
