Foothills Forum

Foothills Forum is an editorially independent, nonpartisan nonprofit, working in partnership with the weekly Rappahannock News, which publishes our explanatory, graphics-driven journalism in print and online.

We cover the issues that matter most to our rural area - local stories that are uniquely Rappahannock that you can't get anywhere else. Check out our website and see for yourself.

Foothills and Rappahannock News reporters and photographers recently won 43 awards for journalistic excellence from the Virginia Press Association, and we helped the Rapp News win the award for the best weekly newspaper of its size in the commonwealth for the sixth consecutive year. We couldn’t be prouder of this achievement and collaboration!

We commit to continuing this exemplary writing and reporting - serving you, our community. Strong independent journalism matters. Please support us during Give Local Piedmont.
