The Emmitsburg News-Journal is deeply grateful for the generous financial contributions made to date by members of the community, which have enabled the Emmitsburg News-Journal to provide a balanced and in-depth coverage of the News, History, Culture, and Events of the greater Emmitsburg community. While the classical newspaper business model calls for a paper to be supported by its advertisers and subscribers, truth be told, there just isn't the advertising base in Emmitsburg to support a good community paper, and the cost of setting up an accounting system to track subscribers is cost prohibitive. No contribution is too small. To paraphrase a seasoned politician, a few dollars here, and a few dollars there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.
