Spotlight Delaware’s investigative coverage spans a wide range of local issues, with a focus on how public policy affects communities across the state.

From Claymont to Delmar, your voice matters.

Spotlight’s strength is community input.  It is only with your voice will we know where the story is, why it’s important, and how we can make an impact together.

Over the past 30 years, local newsrooms across the country have suffered severe cuts to staffing and coverage due to economic challenges.

We started Spotlight Delaware to reverse that. We’re building the future of local news and ensuring that all Delaware communities have access to the stories that impact their daily lives.

Philanthropists, community organizations, journalists, policymakers, business leaders, and all who are passionate about helping Delaware thrive – we invite you to build with us.
