Local. Experienced. Professional.

The Fredericton Independent is an online newsletter delving into current events in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and surrounding communities. This is the work of one journalist - Don MacPherson - with more than two decades specializing in court and crime reporting, so the newsletter will focus a great deal on such matters, but not exclusively.

To learn of the Fredericton Independent’s philosophy and mission, read the introductory post here. At the end of January 2024, the site switched to a paid subscription model, and you can read about why financial support is important to local, independent journalism here.

However, even if a paid subscription isn’t for you, signing up for a free subscription is still advisable, as the Fredericton Independent provides plenty of free content to all, such as missing-person alerts, weather advisories or reports on other public-safety issues in the New Brunswick capital region.
