Today is Local News Day, a nationwide moment to celebrate and strengthen local news.

Local News Day is built around a simple idea: Start Local.

At a time when national headlines dominate our feeds, it’s easy to overlook the news taking place outside our doors. But the most important news is close to home: the decisions affecting local schools, the businesses opening and closing, the community events bringing neighbors together, and the policies shaping our towns. And the sewers.

Here in Lyme and Old Lyme, LymeLine is our only dedicated community news source – and has been for more than 20 years. If the “Start Local” mantra resonates with you, we ask you to take a moment to support our work:

Sign up for the LymeLine newsletter or, if you are already a subscriber, help spread the word to others who want to stay up to date on what’s happening in the Lymes.

Support the newsroom. It’s important to us at LymeLine to keep local news free and available to all. If it’s important to you, too, please consider a donation.

Local news matters. Thank you for supporting LymeLine through this day of action.

Elizabeth started her journalism career in 2013 with the launch of The Salem Connect, a community news site inspired by digital trailblazers like Olwen Logan. Elizabeth’s earliest reporting included two major fires — one at a package store and another at a log cabin where she captured, on video, a state trooper fatally shooting the unarmed homeowner and suspected arsonist. The experiences gave her a crash course in public record searches, courthouse procedures and the Freedom of Information Act. She went on to report for The Bulletin, CT News Junkie, The Rivereast, and The Day, where she covered the Lymes and helped launch the Housing Solutions Lab on affordable housing. Her work has earned numerous awards from the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists and the New England Newspaper & Press Association. Now, after more than a decade in digital, weekly, and daily journalism, she’s grateful to return to the place where it all started: an online news site dedicated to one small corner of Connecticut.
