About Us

Potomac Local News was founded in 2010 with one mission — to help people understand what is happening in their communities in Northern Virginia.

Often overlooked by the Washington, D.C. legacy media, we’ve remained true to our community by providing local, can’t-get-it-anywhere-else coverage of local government, business, and charitable organizations.

We hold elected officials accountable and provide our members the tools and information they need to participate in their local and state governments.

We’re fiercely independent and are committed to conservative journalistic standards. We report what we know, not what we think or feel.

We link to our sources. We aim to get it right, but we issue transparent corrections in our stories when mistakes occur.

We’ve blazed a trail to create a new local news model for our members — online, trusted, engaged, meeting our members where they are in their email box, on social media, and in-person the community.

What they’re saying

“It’s nice to see how far you have come with this endeavor. Once the old Potomac News newspaper ceased to exist, I really missed having that local news. We lived in Woodbridge for 27 years, now as empty-nesters, we downsized and moved to Alexandria but still deeply care about everything that goes on in Prince William County. I just subscribed and am very pleased I did. Uriah, thank you for all your hard, hard work, in bringing this all to fruition. I’m very proud to have a quality young person care so much about his hometown.”

— Sonia H., Alexandria, Va.

“You are doing great – always love the local coverage.”

— Scott H., Fredericksburg, Va.

“I subscribe because you provide the best, most concise source of news and information about Prince William and Stafford counties. Thank you for trying to make this work.”

— Marion W., Manassas, Va.

“We now know what we are missing since the loss of the “Potomac News” paper edition. The “Potomac Local News” is a vital tool to help me keep up with Woodbridge, Manassas, Prince William County! I really appreciate it.”

— Mike A., Woodbridge, Va.

“I subscribe because Potomac Local News reports on actual local news – not “four counties over” news. It’s pertinent information to my local community regarding schools, businesses, public safety etc. Potomac Local News values community input and reports events that are submitted via email, twitter and online to create a very open communication style of reporting news. Potomac Local News is local reporting and journalism at its best and the only news organization I subscribe to and support financially.”

— Nick Z., Stafford, Va.
