When people have access to good information, they make informed decisions. We help Delawareans make informed decisions by consistently delivering non-biased news, thought-provoking conversations, and culturally-enriching programming. As the First State’s only public news media broadcast service, we cover the diversity and texture of life in our community in ways that other outlets often overlook.

Why Your Support Matters:

Restore Local Journalism: One of the greatest threats to democracy is the absence of factual, unbiased news. Without reliable journalism, communities are more likely to experience increased polarization, more corruption, less transparent and effective elections, and lower levels of accountability. With your help, Delaware Public Media will continue to restore local journalism from the ground up in 2024. Will you help us? 

By Delawareans, For Delawareans: Everything we do is about – and for – the people of Delaware. We are a unique entity that focuses solely on Delaware. Locally owned and managed, we live in the communities we cover. It's critical for Delaware to have its own public media news source that not only provides NPR, BBC, and other exceptional national and international news coverage, but also local news coverage that reflects that same commitment to high-quality, independent journalism. 

Unmatched Election Coverage: Our election coverage is second to none, combining our usual reporting with Races to Watch features, Candidate Conversations, and our Delaware Debates partnership with the University of Delaware. We provide you with the information needed to make informed choices on Election Day—and explain what the results mean for Delaware. 

Strengthening Communities: Let's face it: there's no Delaware Public Media without your support. Your contribution helps ensure that our news team can keep bringing Delaware the local news coverage it needs and deserves. Together we can make this public media service, and our community, stronger. 

We're grateful for your continued support. Thank you for helping us keep Delawareans informed, engaged, and connected!
