Gazette Team
The idea for the Gazette took shape in 2025, and it launched in April 2026, founded by Marie Clementi — a journalist, writer, and poet with a legal background and nearly a decade of prior federal government experience. Marie serves as the Gazette's publisher and editor, reporting on local development, business, and community stories across Prince William County.
Dom Clementi serves as the Gazette's Military & Veterans Editor, writing a weekly column covering military and veterans' issues in a county with deep ties to the armed forces.
Why Subscribe
Because the things that actually shape your day-to-day in Prince William County — a new interchange, a data center vote, the restaurant that just opened two blocks over — rarely make it into the national news cycle. We do the digging, so you don't have to: real reporting, real sources, real neighbors. It's free, it lands in your inbox every Monday, and you can unsubscribe any time.
About the Gazette
We're an independent, hyperlocal news outlet delivering original reporting on the people, places, and decisions shaping daily life in Prince William County and surrounding counties. We also send out a free weekly newsletter every Monday that brings it all together. From data center development and housing to local business openings and county government decisions, we cover the stories that matter to our neighbors.
Who We Are
The Woodbridge Gazette is a free, independent hyperlocal news outlet covering Woodbridge, Occoquan, Manassas, Dale City, Gainesville, and the broader Prince William County community — plus nearby Warrenton and Lorton. We believe local news should be trustworthy, accessible, and — true to our tagline — delivered with a little charm.
Our Mission
We started The Woodbridge Gazette because Prince William County deserves a news outlet that shows up every week, tells the truth about what's happening here, and treats readers like neighbors — not numbers. We're independently owned and operated, with no corporate ownership behind us: just two people who live here, care about this community, and want to help it stay informed and connected."
