About
FauquierNow.com
FauquierNow was founded by Lou and Ellen Emerson in October 2011 as a new, online voice covering local news and issues in Fauquier County, Virginia.
Under the Emersons’ direction, the site grew to have more than 90,000 unique visitors and 500,000 page views a month, along with 36,000 Facebook followers. Three times, FauquierNow won the Virginia Press Association’s sweepstakes award as the state’s best online-only news operation, and it serves as the primary digital advertising vehicle in Fauquier County.
In January 2022, FauquierNow was purchased by Rappahannock Media LLC, which owns the popular regional news site InsideNoVa, as well as weekly and bi-weekly newspapers in neighboring Prince William, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties and a group of community magazines, including Warrenton Lifestyle.
Rappahannock Media continues to operate FauquierNow as a stand-alone website. Rappahannock Media, an independent, locally owned company, is based in Washington, Va., and also maintains offices in Warrenton, Culpeper and Woodbridge.
