From the push to remove Confederate statues to big shifts in healthcare and energy policy, the Old Dominion is changing; fair and tough reporting on the policy and politics that affect all of us as Virginians is more important than ever. The Mercury aims to bring a fresh perspective to coverage of the state’s biggest issues.
The Mercury is part of States Newsroom, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by grants and a coalition of donors and readers. We retain full editorial independence and are a proud member of the Virginia Press Association.
The Virginia Mercury generally features progressive commentary, though we are open to considering serious submissions on policy issues. We generally do not accept submissions, however, from declared candidates for public office or sitting elected officials. Contact Editor-in-Chief Robert Zullo at commentary@virginiamercury.com with submissions. Please include links and sourcing to expedite fact-checking.
Note: Virginia onAir recognizes that some of Virginia Mercury’s articles and much of their commentary has a progressive focus. We are mostly interested in their more partisan neutral articles that can be shared in their entirety because they are Creative Commons Non-Commercial.

If you know other Virginia news sources that have partisan neutral and CC-NC content, please contact our Hub curation director at jessler.elvira@onair.cc.
