About Us
Why Get Real?
Think of us as a bridge, connecting hometown messengers with credible information about the things that matter most to your life and to your community. By building outside of paywalls and empowering the people to crowdsource the news, we can create a real-time immune system for democracy. Our mission: quality information that is transparent and accessible to all Americans, especially those living in communities whose local newspapers have closed.
Trusted hometown voices, modern channels, actionable information
