About this app

My Local Press is the lowest-cost platform for local news
creation. We connect communities with the stories that matter
most — reported by real, verified people in your area.

Across the country, communities are losing the reporters and
local publications that kept them informed. We're building an
alternative where quality, trust, and respect matter most.

DISCOVER LOCAL NEWS
Browse stories from your neighborhood, city, or region. Our
location-based feed shows you what's happening near you —
from breaking news to community events, business updates to
local sports.

CREATE AND PUBLISH
Share news, photo essays, event listings, opinion pieces, and
more. Support your coverage with photos, video, and audio.
My Local Press supports 9 content types designed for local
journalism.

COMMUNITY VOUCHING
We verify our community through real people vouching for real
people. This builds a network of trust that keeps content
quality high and bad actors out.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM
Journalists and publications keep 90% of what they earn. No
venture capital. No engagement tricks. Just sustainable local
news.
