The Peekskill Herald is a nonprofit digital news outlet dedicated to covering the city of Peekskill, New York. It began in 2019 as a weekly blog, with publisher Regina Clarkin writing one story per week about local life. In December 2020, a successful crowdfunding campaign provided the support needed to expand coverage and publish more stories. By July 2021, the Peekskill Herald was officially incorporated as a nonprofit, and in December 2021, it received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. The Herald focuses on providing timely, relevant, and community-centered journalism, covering local news, events, and issues that impact residents. It operates with transparency and a commitment to public service, leveraging both professional reporting and community engagement to inform and connect the Peekskill community. As a recognized member of the New York Press Association, Local Independent Online News (LION), the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), and the Alliance of Nonprofit News Outlets, the Peekskill Herald maintains high journalistic standards while prioritizing the needs of its readers. Through its nonprofit model, it continues to fill a vital role in sustaining local news in Peekskill.
