Keep Local News Alive

Royal Examiner is committed to bringing you the stories that matter—without a paywall.

From town meetings to community events, we show up, ask the hard questions, and report what others don’t.

But this only works when the community stands behind it.

Support local journalism today.

Why It Matters

Local news doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens because someone shows up.

We attend meetings.
We follow decisions that affect your daily life.
We keep the community informed.

No national outlet is covering Front Royal and Warren County the way we do.

This is your news. And it needs your support.

Why We Don’t Have a Paywall

We believe everyone deserves access to local news—no matter what.

That’s why Royal Examiner is free to read.

But producing local journalism takes time, effort, and resources.

Instead of charging for access, we rely on readers and local supporters who believe in keeping news open and accessible for all.

Your Support Makes This Possible. Your contribution helps us:

✔ Cover local government and public meetings
✔ Report on issues that affect your community
✔ Highlight local businesses and events
✔ Keep information accessible to everyone

Every dollar helps us continue showing up.
