We’ve delivered local stories to your home for years. Now we’re asking for your support.

The Kent Reporter is offering readers a new premium service that will help strengthen our mission to provide quality local journalism in the community.

Starting in June 2025, readers can subscribe to receive home delivery of the Kent Reporter’s print edition, along with full digital access at kentreporter.com and the e-edition, for $1.50/week.

The print edition will still be available for free at rack locations across Kent. This will ensure the community can still access local coverage — from city council news and crime happenings to sports and cultural events — that can only be found in the Kent Reporter.

Your subscription reinforces the Kent Reporter’s position as a premium newspaper brand in King County.

It introduces a pricing plan that is fair to the community and at a price point that helps us offset some of the costs of producing the news content and distributing it to your homes.

It helps us better identify our customers, their habits and preferences. This will improve our ability to write stories and provide advertisements that are relevant to our market and community — and to you as the readers.

Please visit kentreporter.com/subscribe to learn more about our subscription offers. Thank you again for supporting local journalism.
