About Us
The Peekskill Herald began as a weekly blog in 2019 with Publisher Regina Clarkin writing one story a week about life in Peekskill. In December of 2020, a crowdfunding campaign was launched and received enough support to begin publishing more stories. In July of 2021 Peekskill Herald was incorporated as a nonprofit digital news site. We received our 501c3 status from the IRS in December of 2021.
We are members of the New York Press Association, Local Independent Online News (LION), The Institute for Nonprofit News and Alliance of Nonprofit News Outlets.
