Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my membership plan anytime?
Absolutely! You will be able to fully manage your membership level and payment options through your account login directly on the site.
If you were a current member before the change you will not be able to use the self-service upgrade process. Please email us at membership@delawaresource.com the plan you wish to upgrade to and our team will take care of everything for you.
What does my membership pay for? How do you use the money?
100% of membership investment is poured back into our newsrooms. Your membership helps pay professional reporters, fund events, and create high-impact reporting series. Each day, members see the results of their investment on the pages of our news sites.
What is the duo membership?
We created the duo membership with families in mind, but it’s not limited to families. In fact, it’s ideal for anyone who wants unlimited access for themself and someone else in their life, whether they live together or not! Both members of the duo membership receive the full benefits of the membership plan.
It’s important to note that if you sign up for the duo membership, 1 person will be the primary member and there will be 1 payment method on file. Once the membership is purchased, you will be able to invite the second person to join the membership plan.
What are my payment options?
98% of our members purchase online using a major credit card. We also accept Google and Apple Pay. It’s easy, secure, and generally hassle-free.
We accept checks mailed to or dropped off at:
Source Media Properties
c/o Membership Coordinator
40 W 4th St
Mansfield, OH 44902
If paying by check, please still purchase via the website and simply select the “Pay by Check” option at checkout. Your membership will activate once the check has been received. Please be sure to include your email address with your check so we can match your payment with your account.
Thank you for covering the issue since I would not even have known about all this without your coverage. This story reminded me of the value of an active press and how we need to support it financially.

Why Membership Matters
Local journalism works best when it’s supported by the people it serves.
Your membership allows Delaware Source to:
• Cover local government, growth & development and community life consistently
• Ask hard questions and pursue real answers
• Invest time in reporting that builds understanding
• Remain accountable to this community — not outside interests
This is how strong local news is built.
The first 100 campaign runs through March 16, 2026 — or until the first 100 memberships are filled.
