Independent Vermont news nonprofit covering state government and public affairs
VTDigger is a 15-year-old nonprofit newsroom in Montpelier focused on state-level reporting across government, business, energy, and education. The stack is editorial-forward (WordPress, Adobe Creative Cloud, social distribution across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms like Bluesky) with active hiring across media and editorial roles — a sign the organization is scaling reporting capacity. Two concurrent technical challenges appear in the data: integrating multimedia into storytelling products and managing video asset workflows, both pointing toward expanding beyond text-based reporting.
