Hi there, | We're one week into our spring supporter drive, and we wanted to be upfront about what's at stake. | If we don't reach our goal of 200 new members, the math gets harder. Not in an abstract, "journalism is struggling" kind of way — in a very real, everyday kind of way. | Fewer reporters means fewer stories. Fewer stories means less accountability. Less accountability means the institutions that shape your daily life — city council, developers, school boards, health authorities — operate with less scrutiny. | That's not a future anyone wants. But it's the one we're heading toward without more reader support. | Right now, the Capital Daily is one of the only independent outlets covering Victoria and Vancouver Island with this kind of depth. We don't chase clicks for ad revenue. We answer to you — our readers. | But that only works if enough readers step up. | |
