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.
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.
New business, or old business with new products or promotions? Hiring, or selling off inventory, looking for something or just getting rid of that old mower or car? We have competitive advertising and classified rates.
For less than the cost of one latte each month, you can help keep your community informed and entertained.
For less than the cost of the best IPA each month, you can help showcase the talents of kids in your community.
Try us. Let us know what you care about, and we’ll share what’s happening in your town!
