Over the past four years, our team of professional journalists has worked hard to establish VeroNews.com as the most immediate and authoritative source of online news in Indian River County.
Whether it’s the city councils in Vero Beach, Sebastian and Fellsmere, the county commission, or the school board, our veteran reporters cover the meetings, probe for the story behind the story, and provide the information you need as an informed citizen.
Under the leadership of online editor Debbie Carson, VeroNews.com has in a remarkably short time established itself as the leading news website serving Indian River County.
Now VeroNews.com has one other distinction. It is the only professional news website where you can access every story, every photo, every video, every day – FREE!
Unlike Scripps, which now forces readers to buy a pay subscription and log-on with a user ID and password if they want to read stories on TCPalm.com, we believe Indian River County needs an online newspaper where all residents can obtain news and information about our community at no charge.
We have no intention of asking you to pay to access VeroNews.com, now or in the future.
Some have asked us how we can afford to keep VeroNews.com free. After all, our news is produced by fulltime professional reporters – unlike the proliferating “journalist wannabe” websites produced by bloggers and free-lancers with no news credentials you can rely on.
The answer is that VeroNews.com is supported by advertising. Our hope is that as the number of daily online readers climbs well into the thousands, our advertising support also will continue to grow – and readers will patronize these businesses, and let them know they came after seeing their ad on VeroNews.com.
If it sounds like a simple formula, it should be. But it only works with your support. So check in with us daily, and tell your friends and neighbors they too can enjoy FREE access to the latest online news and information about Indian River County on VeroNews.com.
Thank you.
