The Triangle is an independent community news outlet covering Virginia’s Historic Triangle – Williamsburg, James City County and York County – as well as the surrounding region.

The organization was founded in 2021 by local journalist Christin Nielsen to help address the decline in local news in our community.

The Triangle offers:

• Weekly coverage of local events
• Bullet-point-style news updates to quickly bring readers up-to-date on important local issues
• In-depth feature and investigative reporting on topics that impact our community
• Civic news and election coverage
• Profiles on local people and businesses

The Triangle is a politically neutral publication grounded in the ethics standards guided by the Society of Professional Journalists. Our small newsroom is supported by the community through donations, grant funding and local advertisements.

Mission Statement

The Triangle’s mission is to inform the civic dialogue, promote community engagement and elevate underrepresented voices. Our focus is on providing relevant, high-quality news and information that is fully accessible to everyone. We pledge to offer nonpartisan, unbiased coverage of topics that matter to the residents of our region. In all that we do, earning the trust and respect of our audience is paramount. We are a locally owned and operated publication that puts our community first.
