Since 1885, The East Hampton Star has provided the context and
accountability that readers do not get elsewhere. It has been East
Hampton’s voice and essential public forum. Fifty-two weeks a year in
print and on the web, The Star’s local news and information helps
readers understand the forces confronting the region and make decisions
affecting themselves, family members, and friends.

Without local news, misinformation spreads, participation in government
is limited, and understanding of issues including health, democracy,
education, and climate is threatened. Donor support ensures that our
trustworthy, independent coverage remains strong and there when it
matters most — in emergencies, policy debates, and community
decision-making.
