About NEK News

NEK News covers the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the North Country of New Hampshire. We file on the towns, the agencies, and the institutions that shape life in this region.

What we cover

• Public safety. Police, fire, and EMS calls from across the region, reported every day they happen.
• Courts. The daily court calendar, arraignments, verdicts, and sentencing across Caledonia, Orleans, Essex, Coos, and Grafton counties.
• Town hall. Select-board meetings, budgets, zoning, and the planning decisions that ultimately change your tax bill.
• Roads and weather. National Weather Service alerts, USGS river gauges, road closures, and the storms that prompt them.
• Investigations. When we say we will follow up on something, the open thread stays public on our Investigations board.
• Schools and business. School boards, district news, business openings and closings, and local development.

Independence

The newsroom takes no corporate sponsorship or outside investment and runs entirely on reader memberships, which are listed on the Subscribe page.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, tell us: corrections are appended to the bottom of the story with a timestamp rather than quietly re-edited.
