For companies, congregations, associations

A community newsroom with a desk behind it.

Beats that need covering, an Editor who gives each assignment to a person, and stories that show their sources.

14-day trial. No card.

Thursday edition

Reported

By a member of the Reporters' desk

Three years of statements, two treasurers and one question from the back row: what happened to the roof money? Sources are listed under the story.

Correction: An earlier version gave the wrong year for the second appeal. It was the autumn appeal, not the spring one.

The roles

The Editor, and the Reporters

An Editor is judged by whether the beats stay covered and whether the community believes what it reads.

The Editor

Decides what gets covered and who covers it, and trains first-time Reporters.

The Reporter

Any member can ask to report, under their own name.

On every story

Sources shown, corrections kept

The Newsroom

A Callout asks the community, and answers attach as sources.

Plain labels

Reported, Announcement, Opinion or Explainer. Corrections stay at the top.

No engagement metrics

No view counts, likes or trending lists.

What it is not

Not Collabimedia

Marketing for people outside the community.

Collabimedia

Not Community Pulse

Each edition is posted to the Pulse when it goes out.

The Pulse

Not a blog

A newsroom is a desk, its Reporters and an edition.
