Washington City Paper is reader-supported, and we're counting on you!

Local news was already struggling, then the pandemic came. More than 85 local newsrooms have closed since March 2020 as local advertising dollars have dried up. So we need your help to keep City Paper going and producing the local news you trust and rely on.

About Washington City Paper

Washington City Paper is your source for local news. Since 1981, our journalism and events have connected D.C. natives and newcomers to the District and to each other. 

With the support of our members, we’re exploring the city we all love—investigating corruption and exposing wrongdoing, analyzing the District’s biggest issues, holding elected officials accountable, and at the same time shining a light on our rich food, arts, and sports scenes with award-winning design and photography.
