Support Local. Stay Informed. Strengthen Jamestown and the Greene County region.
The Jamestown Comet.com was founded in 2009 and named after one of Jamestown, Ohio’s original newspapers. The publication is online only (for the moment) and exists for one simple reason: to serve our community with clear, accurate, and independent local journalism. No clickbait. No political agenda. By becoming a Patreon supporter, you’re helping ensure that Jamestown’s stories continue to be told—honestly, thoughtfully, and without outside influence.
For $5 per month, you directly support reporting that focuses on the issues, people, and events that matter right here at home. (Click to Subscribe) Local journalism is often the first to notice changes, ask hard questions, celebrate successes, and hold institutions accountable. When local news disappears, communities lose more than headlines—they lose connection, context, and trust. Your support helps prevent that.

As a subscriber, you’ll benefit from:

• Reliable local news you won’t find on national sites or social media feeds
• Clear, locally focused weather coverage that helps you plan your day, not just scan a forecast
• Insightful commentary grounded in personal experiences and reality—not clickbait or recycled talking points
• A stronger, independent voice dedicated to covering our community, consistently and responsibly

Your membership helps fund reporting, writing, editing, and publishing—all done with the community’s best interests in mind. Our owner is our editor and publisher, and we don’t chase algorithms—just a commitment to honest local journalism. And when there’s a commentary, we say so – just like Cronkite and Murrow.
Editor’s Note: Literacy and a Free Press are quintessential to a thriving democratic society. Our job is to resist and work against censorship, attempts to silence journalists, and intimidation tactics toward journalists and publications by any government agency.
– Gery L. Deer, Founder, Editor, & Publisher
The subscription is $5 per month, and you can cancel anytime. No long-term obligation—just meaningful support for a vital local resource.
