America’s First Grassroots Platform is Here
About Us
Why Get Real?
Get Real is a 501c3 nonprofit on a mission to build America’s first digital, grassroots newsroom that works for communities and provides trustworthy, accurate information to its citizens. By bringing together communities, independent journalists, content creators, and community leaders, Get Real believes we can fill the gaps left by shuttered local newspapers.
Get Real creates local news resources filled with credible, accurate information made for today’s audience and presented in ways they want to consume it, by voices they trust.
Get Real is dedicated to working with and supporting local newsrooms and is committed to providing quality information that is accessible to all Americans, especially in places without a local news source.
