Our Mission

Why we Started…

Piedmont Journalism Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded to help foster an informed and engaged citizenry in Fauquier County and neighboring areas through local news. To fulfill this mission, PJF provides fact-based, in-depth, nonpartisan, explanatory journalism to local news outlets. It also now owns and supports the Fauquier Times, the county’s only newspaper, as a way to serve the mission.
