Chadds Ford LIVE and the Delaware LIVE News Network
Today, Chadds Ford LIVE provides timely, community-centered journalism across five core townships in and around Chadds Ford, delivering news that larger regional outlets often overlook. Our coverage centers on local government, schools, arts and culture, history, land preservation, small businesses, and the people who make this region unique. Entirely digital and free to read, Chadds Ford LIVE serves as a daily information hub for residents who care deeply about where they live. Our stories are produced by experienced local journalists and community contributors, ensuring reporting that is informed, balanced, and deeply rooted in the Brandywine Valley. Chadds Ford LIVE is led editorially by Rich Schwartzman, the publication’s lead journalist and editor, whose long-standing connection to the community brings continuity, credibility, and local insight to the newsroom. Chadds Ford LIVE is part of a growing local news network established in 2009, which also includes Town Square LIVE, Delaware LIVE, and Milford LIVE. Together, these outlets share a commitment to community-focused journalism that strengthens civic engagement and keeps local voices front and center. The network is overseen by George Rotsch, Vice President of the news group and Publisher of Chadds Ford LIVE. In this role, Rotsch focuses on expanding local coverage, supporting independent journalism, and building sustainable community news platforms across the region. As we look ahead to 2026, Chadds Ford LIVE is entering a new phase of growth. Building on a strong foundation of community trust, we are expanding coverage, enhancing storytelling, and investing in new ideas that will better connect residents across the Brandywine Valley. With exciting changes ahead, our commitment remains the same: clear, reliable local news that strengthens the community we serve.
