Starting Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018, we will introduce our premium content tier. I hope you will choose to become a member!
Here, our best and most informative work to cover our community — from local government to new and fun things to do with your friends and family — will be featured in our premium content tier.
Gaining access to our premium content tier is easy, and it’s priced at a great value: $6 a month, or save 10% and pay up front at just $65 a year.
Only selected content will appear on our premium membership tier. Many of the features you have come to expect from Potomac Local, including the police blotter, reader questions, and emails, our popular Breakfast Links email will continue to be sent at 5 a.m. each weekday, will remain free.
So, if you already get it you’ll keep getting it. If you don’t, sign up free.
We first told you about membership and our upcoming premium content in early December.
In addition to access to great local news coverage, members will also be eligible for special offers and discounts from area businesses and will be invited to special events.
Your membership — valued at less than two cups of coffee month — is vital for Potomac Local to not only to continue to cover our community with trusted, unbiased, objective local news but also to expand our coverage in traffic and transportation news, something that affects all Northern Virginians.
I had the pleasure of speaking with many readers about the change shortly after I announced it in December. I’m always available to answer any questions you might have regarding this first-of-its-kind change on Potomac Local, so please email me at ukiser[at]potomaclocal.com.
Thank you for your continued support of Potomac Local over the years, and for becoming a sustaining member of our local news organization.
