Dear readers,

At the Bradenton Herald, we’re committed to providing unbiased news that is essential to our community.

Our reporting team works tirelessly to improve our community through impactful stories such as these:

  • Reporter James A. Jones took an early look at the impact of a new Florida law that cracks down on illegal immigrants — and how the Bradenton area’s hospitality industry could suffer as a result.

  • Reporter Michael Moore Jr. shed light on a poaching problem in Sarasota Bay. Local experts say it could have a dramatic effect on the marine ecosystem.

  • Reporter Ryan Callihan continues to provide the latest in-depth coverage of progress toward the final closure of Piney Point, a long-stewing environmental nightmare along Tampa Bay.

The Bradenton Herald recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, and we remain committed to delivering hard-hitting local journalism for readers like you.

We know our community needs more. But today’s marketplace realities limit the depth and breadth of our journalism. To expand our coverage, we need your help.

We hope you will consider a tax-deductible contribution to help us better serve Manatee County. Gifts of any size make a difference.

You can donate through bradentonherald.com/donate. Or, if you prefer to send a check, please put Bradenton in the memo line and mail it to 1601 Alhambra Blvd., Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95816. Please include your email address.

Your support keeps us at the forefront of our community, bringing you the news that matters most. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.

Sincerely,

Bradenton Herald Staff
