Support independent, free press. Support The Austin Chronicle.
For over 40 years, The Austin Chronicle has been the progressive voice of Austin. Locally owned and fiercely independent, our goal remains the same as it was on day one – to deliver bold and uncensored coverage of the issues that are important to our community while supporting the city’s vibrant culture.

Free to pick up & free of online paywalls.
With over 200,000 copies printed monthly, readers can pick up a FREE copy of The Austin Chronicle just about anywhere they go! We’re also available 24/7 at austinchronicle.com with regularly updated breaking news, columns, reviews, and more.

Support Free Press Forever.
If you understand how important free and independent journalism is, please consider supporting The Austin Chronicle by making a donation of $5, $10, or whatever you can afford. If you really want to show your support you can opt to become a sustaining monthly contributor at any amount that best suits you! Every dollar you donate goes towards paying our writers and staff and supporting the behind-the-scenes work it takes to put out the paper every week.

Now through the end of the year, donors will automatically be entered to win passes to our inaugural Free Press Forever, a mini live music series held each month in the courtyard of the Chronicle offices! Winners will enjoy must-see local music, complimentary beverages, rotating food options, and giveaways, all while catching up with the hardest-working free press in town! Learn more about our Free Press Forever mini live music series and donor drive here!

On behalf of everyone at The Austin Chronicle, thank you for your support! We welcome your feedback, and we'll strive every day to be worthy of your trust.
