Real-World Impacts

Legend
Real World Impact
Self reported impact on the communities the newsroom serves.

My community has told me how much they have come to depend on our daily news website-we've been able to shine a light on non-profits in need of funding, inspiring immediate donations to pour in; we've been able to increase voter turnout; In this current global pandemic, we've been a lifeline to many with critical information and directly impacted the speed with which the community adopted social distancing-as credited by town leadership. GOOD Morning Wilton has helped new businesses establish a customer base. And we've helped reinforce a community ethic based on GOOD news.
