Unlocking new revenue for independent news publishers
By leveraging advertising, syndications, big tech partnerships, and grant funding, we enable news organisations to thrive while maintaining their independence.
Through cutting-edge technology and innovative funding approaches, we provide the tools necessary for local news outlets to future-proof their business models.
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), every decision we make is to ultimately better support the independent news sector.
