Publisher’s Post

We’ve come a long way in 15 years—and we’re just getting started.

Potomac Local News exists for one reason: because Northern Virginia deserves a local news source that puts community first.

Not every story shakes the ground. Some stories simply hold it together.

For 15 years, we’ve told those stories—of your neighborhoods, your schools, your local leaders, your kids’ big wins and quiet achievements.

You’re not just reading this because you clicked a link—you’re reading this because you belong here.

For 15 years, Potomac Local News has worked to bring meaningful, reliable, and impactful journalism to our neighborhoods in Northern Virginia.

In a time when local newspapers across the country have gone dark, we’re still shining a light right here in Northern Virginia. Not by accident. Because of you.

You stood up for local journalism.

Fifteen years. That’s how long we’ve been showing up, every single day, to bring you the stories that shape our communities in Northern Virginia.

Potomac Local News has always been about something bigger than just headlines. It’s about connection. It’s about accountability. It’s about giving our neighbors a voice.

Today, Potomac Local News is still here—stronger, sharper, and more committed than ever—because of you.

In an age when trust in the news has eroded and many local papers have vanished, you stood by us. You read. You shared. You became members. You supported a mission bigger than yourself. And because of that, thousands of people across Northern Virginia still have a news source they can count on.

Hey folks – Uriah Kiser here, founder and publisher of Potomac Local News.

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of joining the Prince William Committee of 100 at the Manassas Museum for a thoughtful discussion on the future of local news. Thank you to everyone who came out to support and take part in the conversation—it meant a lot.

In observance of the holiday, many local services and facilities will be closed or operate on modified schedules on Monday, May 26, 2025:

Thank you for being part of our community. From all of us at Potomac Local News, have a meaningful and restful holiday.
