THE INDY IS FREE. MAKING IT ISN'T.

The INDY's journalists are working around the clock to cover the effects of the coronavirus and help you understand what is really happening. But as a small, independent news organization, we're facing an unprecedented challenge: The advertising revenue we've always relied on—from events, nightclubs, bars and restaurants, and cultural institutions—has disappeared. In difficult times like these, we can only do our jobs with your help. Before you continue reading, we're asking you to join our membership program, the INDY Press Club, which helps us keep fearless, high-quality independent local journalism viable in the Triangle.
