Our Reach
The Beacon publishes free journalism that reaches audiences across the Midwest, inspires positive change, and fosters informed discussions around civic issues. Every time you read, share or respond to Beacon reporting you’re part of a movement to make the conversation local.
In 2023, hundreds of thousands of readers visited our website. They joined tens of thousands of subscribers to our newsletters and social media channels. Together, our audience is building a nonpartisan, common language that lays the foundation for developing solutions to local issues.
Beyond The Beacon
In collaboration with dozens of republishing partners, who are encouraged to republish our stories for free, the impact of our articles expands past Beacon channels for a potential reach past the 300 million mark.
When our journalism correlates to a demonstrable change in our community, like a shift in the way school board members are elected, we share that story here.
