About Us

LocalNews1.org brings you real, verified news from communities in SE Franklin & NE Washington Counties.  We cover stories about businesses, non-profits, the schools and school sports, churches, clubs, municipalities . . . everything local. 

But we are not just another media company.

LocalNews1.org was founded by a group of local residents who saw a need for trusted, vetted news in their community. They got together and invested their time and money into creating a platform for distributing community happenings. They recruited a very small, experienced community-minded staff focused on providing not only the news you need to know, but also the GOOD NEWS from around the region.

We are the one place you can go to get vetted, accurate and timely news all in one place.  Though we have a social media presence, we are not social media.

• • News from local school districts

• • Township and Borough government news

• • Local sports coverage

• • Business news

• • Community features and profiles

• • Stories on good people doing great things

• • Events/entertainment

To get this kind of content, LocalNews1.org relies on an ever-growing network of people who let us know what to share with the community. Tell us what your business or church group or Boy Scout troop is planning. Tell us your league standings and baseball, football, soccer, swimming, golf and other results. We wull share all that with the broader community at no cost to you.
