Hawaii Reporter Could Fold, Seeks Donations

By /
The Hawaii Reporter, an online news website founded by reporter Malia Zimmerman, has sent out a plea for donations, saying that the 10-year-old news service may not live to see its 11th birthday without readers’ help.

The website is staffed by Zimmerman and Jim Dooley, a former Honolulu Advertiser investigative reporter.

Excerpts from an email sent to readers: 

Hawaii Reporter turns 11 years old on February 11, but we won’t make it to our next anniversary without your help.

We are looking to raise $150,000 for the next year, $20,000 immediately so we can continue our news operations. 

What it means to support Civil Beat.

Supporting Civil Beat means you’re investing in a newsroom that can devote months to investigate corruption. It means we can cover vulnerable, overlooked communities because those stories matter. And, it means we serve you. And only you.

Donate today and help sustain the kind of journalism Hawaiʻi cannot afford to lose.
