Help Shape the Future of Local News in Vermont

Help shape the future of local news in Vermont! The Vermont Community Foundation is conducting a statewide project to understand how Vermonters get their local news and information, what’s working, and what’s missing.

Chamber and Economic Development of the Rutland Region and The Hub CoWorks are partnering with VCF to host a listening session for our community. We invite you to join a 90-minute listening session where you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas—what matters to you, what you rely on, and how local information could better serve you and your neighbors.

Location: Streetside Conference Room at The Hub CoWorks, 67 Merchants Row, Rutland VT

Date and time: Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 6:00PM

Spots are limited, and preregistration is required. Register for the event here.

Your input will directly inform recommendations to strengthen Vermont’s local media ecosystem that will be shared with local news providers statewide. To thank you for your time and perspective, participants will be offered a $50 Visa gift card. Refreshments will be provided.
