You can access Oakville News but occasionally see a pop-up requesting a donation. For readers wishing to make a one-time donation, they will not see a request for a donation for a year, or if they are contributing monthly, they will only see a request if their credit card information expires.

Why do I see an adblocker message requesting funds to access Oakville News?

Adblockers allow readers to browse the internet without seeing any advertising. However, we need to pay our staff and operating expenses, so if a reader uses adblocking software, Oakville News cannot create revenue from advertising.

Why are you requesting donations? I see lots of advertising on the site.

We aim to provide news to all regardless of a person’s ability to pay. Currently, our only source of revenue is through advertising sales. Unfortunately, it isn’t enough. Most advertising readers see Google generates, which pays about 10 cents on the dollar. To maintain the level of reporting, we need the financial support of our readers to pay for writers and operating expenses. Advertising revenue covers just 1/3 of what is required. We hope our readers who can contribute do, so those who can’t can keep reading Oakville News.
