Stet News
We’re happy to share a bit of good news to kick off 2026. Thanks to more than 250 readers who donated during our recent NewsMatch campaign, we exceeded our year-end fundraising goal and raised more than $60,000!!
🧮 That’s an increase of 160% over last year’s campaign.
Your financial support strengthens Stet News and helps build a better Palm Beach County.
A special thank you to NewsMatch, the LaFrance Project and other generous local donors who matched our reader contributions. And to our readers for believing in us and giving so generously.
When we launched Stet News in 2023, we believed Palm Beach County deserved accountability journalism that wasn’t exploitative and dependent on ad revenue or corporate owners.
We hoped the community would agree, and you did. In 2025, our email list grew 82%, and we welcomed about 83,000 visitors to our digital news site.
Our growing team published hundreds of original stories last year. A newsletter every Tuesday. A month-end wrap. Through our Community Voices partnership with Riviera Beach’s Inlet Grove High, we train and pay students to cover the city’s development boom. We’re not just reporting on the community, we’re investing in the next generation who will write its stories.
And you’re investing in us. We’re honored to have your support. Thank you for the love.
We’ll work hard for you in 2026.
– Joel, Carolyn and Liz
