As we approach our third anniversary, we’re happy to report that the Desert Trumpet continues to grow, adding 256 subscribers in 2024—we’re close to hitting 1,000 subscribers! 2024 also saw some big changes as we joined the movement towards nonprofit journalism and began operating under the auspices of our fiscal receiver Aha Projects, who we thank for their generous underwriting of our reporting.

And of course, we are also VERY appreciative of the vote of confidence made by our 66 paid subscribers.
