I am honored to return to Vermont as VTDigger\u2019s new editor-in-chief and to lead this talented team of journalists, who are deeply committed to truth, accountability and community.<\/p>\n<p>Today we are announcing a special partnership that connects two pillars of a healthy community: fact-based journalism and childhood literacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This week, <a href=\"https:\/\/donate.vtdigger.org\/?campaign=7701PQ00000c9vKbYAI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">your gift<\/a> will support local journalism as well as the news readers of tomorrow by sending a brand-new book to a Vermont child through the Children\u2019s Literacy Foundation (CLiF). <\/p>\n<p>Will you help us <a href=\"https:\/\/donate.vtdigger.org\/?campaign=7701PQ00000c9vKbYAI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">send 350 books<\/a> from 350 members by Saturday, July 19?<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Just as journalism opens up the minds and hearts of our audiences, children\u2019s books invite young people to learn about new things and feel what it\u2019s like to make different journeys.<\/p>\n<p>In a time when housing, groceries and healthcare dominate family budgets, children\u2019s books shouldn\u2019t be a luxury. But for many families, they are.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/donate.vtdigger.org\/?campaign=7701PQ00000c9vKbYAI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Make a gift today<\/a> and you will be keeping our community strong by supporting VTDigger\u2019s capacity to provide you with local news and sending a new book to a Vermont child.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Geeta Anand<br \/>Editor-in-chief, VTDigger<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-attachment-id=\"626170\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/?attachment_id=626170\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Geeta-Anand_headshot.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Geeta Anand_headshot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo by Christopher Michel&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Geeta-Anand_headshot-300x300.jpg?crop=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Geeta-Anand_headshot.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Geeta-Anand_headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-626170\" style=\"width:150px\"  \/>Photo by Christopher Michel<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" data-attachment-id=\"627134\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/?attachment_id=627134\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/VT-Book-Shop-Logo-Horizontal-Color.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1296,432\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"VT Book Shop Logo Horizontal Color\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/VT-Book-Shop-Logo-Horizontal-Color-300x100.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VT-Book-Shop-Logo-Horizontal-Color-1200x400.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VT-Book-Shop-Logo-Horizontal-Color-1200x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-627134 size-full\"  \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photos by Kintz, courtesy of CLiF.
