It’s been two months since I told you about The Indy’s restructuring.

I am thrilled to tell you that 60 days later, we have stabilized the ship, and I see smooth sailing ahead. There is still work to do, and we still need your help in achieving long-term sustainability. But thanks to a dedicated revenue team opening new fundraising doors and a talented group of reporters continuing to produce stellar stories, we are well on our way.

There’s a lot happening on the fundraising and journalism fronts:

— IndyTalks: A Las Vegas mayoral forum on May 15 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas that will end up on TV, too.

— An IndyTalks in Reno on June 4 about the future of Reno’s economy with three industry leaders. (Details coming soon.)

— Our annual public policy conference, IndyFest, on Oct. 4-5 at Red Rock Resort.

What do these events have in common?

They allow us to leverage the kinds of interviews and panel discussions you can’t find anywhere else to show our value to the community and raise money so we can expand our reach. And this is just the beginning.

We plan to hold a half-dozen or so major events before the end of the year, all of them guaranteed to elevate the civic conversation in our state. And we have been gratified by the number of new donors who have come forward — big and small — to help us replenish our bank account and make me feel even better about the future.

This wouldn’t be happening without this talented team of journalists showing why we are the go-to place for coverage of public policy, government and politics in Nevada. Since I last wrote to you:

— Sean Golonka, a tremendous data journalist, investigated the lieutenant governor’s travel and found Stavros Anthony recording the largest travel budget in the sinecure’s history.

— Eric Neugeboren, an intern who will become a full-time employee soon, has done a number of superb investigative pieces, including one on Nevada’s Division of Child and Family Services .

— Tabitha Mueller has broken many stories on the political beat and produced a damning investigation of a nonprofit responsible for boosting Nevada’s woeful immunization rate.

— Amy Alonzo digs up environmental stories no one else does, including her recent deep dive (enhanced by remarkable David Calvert photos) into dual efforts to preserve a threatened fish species.

— Our woman in D.C., Gabby Birenbaum, has become a CNN staple and has been tracking the delegation and breaking stories from far, such as a Senate hopeful’s unfulfilled promise to make a TV buy. (After her story, he made a buy.)

These are but a few examples of the dozens of stories in the last two months that this corps of hard-working journalists have produced. Howard Stutz continues to break news on the Oakland A’s move to Las Vegas and dig into trends such as the state’s new cannabis lounges, Rocio Hernandez has been all over developments in our K-12 schools throughout the state including fact-checking the governor, and Carly Sauvageau has pitched in on so many fronts including on telling the story of rural newspapers’ fight to survive.

I am so thankful and honored to be working with these people, who believe in our mission and who know that never has the need for independent journalism been as great. In the coming months, we will lean into our election coverage, which we do better than anyone, including analyses of issues and stances, funding sources and candidate claims. We also plan on more forums and debates, where candidates will have to answer tough questions.

I want to do more, of course. I am frustrated that we do not — yet! — have the resources to really dive as deeply as we’d like into local government coverage. But we are continuing to foster relationships with news organizations in every corner of the state, and stay tuned for some very good news coming this Wednesday.

Good reporters cost money, and to fulfill our mission of accountability journalism and deeply reported pieces on issues that matter most, we need your help. Whether it’s a small, recurring monthly donation or something larger, I hope you will consider being part of The Indy family.

I have never wavered in my belief that the best is yet to come. I hope you join us on our journey.

Onward!

Jon Ralston is the CEO and editor of The Indy.
