Who this is for, and where each of you starts
- A journalist on your own, working, retired, a student, or anyone who shows up to the council meeting with a phone. The three steps above are your whole start: a profile, a vouch, a first story. The middle one is the good part; a vouch is a real person putting their own reputation behind you. For journalists has everything after that.
- A publication, existing or new: a paper, a radio station, a TV desk, a podcast. Bring the masthead and the team; your publication has the rest.
- A storyteller, or a reader who wants in: open the community feed, where your town has a newspaper: stories, events, classifieds, notices, newest first, free to read. Tap Read on a journalist or a publication to follow them, then post something of your own, an event, a classified, a service, an obituary. For readers and storytellers walks it through.
- A business with something to say: your own feed is yours, free. Back a journalist by name, back a whole community, or buy a spot from a paper that publishes its rates; that is how local businesses fund local journalism here, and are seen doing it. For businesses and advertisers has the three ways and what they cost.
