About Us
Why Get Real?
Think of us as a bridge, using the latest technology to connect hometown messengers with credible information about stuff that’s actually relevant to your life and your community. By building outside of paywalls we will make quality information transparent and accessible to all Americans, especially those living in communities whose local newspapers have closed.




Trusted hometown voices, modern channels, actionable information
