Help us tell Gig Harbor’s story during NewsMatch
We’ve all seen the difference our reporting makes uncovering untold stories, keeping you informed with Gig Harbor news.
As part of our recent reader survey, Gig Harbor Now asked readers what they’d like to see more of in their community newspaper. The responses reveal a deep appreciation for local storytelling — and a desire for more in-depth, community-centered coverage that reflects the heart and life of Gig Harbor. Themes readers mentioned most often included:
- Local News & Issues
- Local Business & Economy
- Environment & Waterfront
- Arts & Culture
- City & Government
- Community Life & People
- Local Events & Activities
- Schools & Education
- Traffic & Growth
- Sports & Recreation
There’s never been a more critical time to protect independent newsrooms like ours. Recent reporting indicates nearly 40% of all local U.S. newspapers have vanished, leaving 50 million Americans with limited or no access to a reliable source of local news.
NewsMatch is America’s largest collaborative fundraising movement supporting independent, public service journalism. From now until Dec. 31, we have an opportunity to boost the impact of donations to help power our newsroom into 2026.
NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift up to $1,000. Today we ask you to take this opportunity to increase the impact of your generous support.

Thank you for believing in the importance of local journalism that informs, connects, and celebrates our unique community.
Gratefully,
Dave Martens
Board Director
