The Bucks County Beacon has been selected as a Report for America host newsroom! This is a huge vote of confidence in the work of our editorial team as well as an acknowledgement of the importance of independent local journalism in Bucks County.

Report for America will cover half the cost of a full‑time education beat reporter’s 2026 salary, which means we need to raise the other half.

Please consider making a contribution toward our new reporter’s salary. Any contribution helps.
