The power of the press in your hands

AFreePress.com and GetLocalNews.com make publishing a two-way street, bringing you a network of over 43,000 city and topical news web sites where you read what others write, add your comments, publish your own words and photos, or become publisher of your own online community. 

Welcome to Citizen Journalism.

How it works

  • Start either on one of our community web sites (locate a site with the zip code search box) or start with a topic (by scrolling down the list on the left).
  • Wherever you land, you can publish an article, story, review, photo, complaint or recommendation.
  • Readers can respond on the message boards that are automatically attached to each article.
  • Content that gets the most readership is automatically syndicated throughout the network.
Our goal

We want to create a continuous flow of information - reports on breaking news stories: debates on local, regional and national political issues; publication of fiction, art and music - all without the need for traditional reporters and editors.

We hope to create a place where you can take on City Hall or even your boss without fear of retaliation. We want constructive criticism and debate. That dialogue is lacking in the thousands of communities whose only source of news is a monopoly newspaper usually owned by a chain only interested in maximizing profits -- the same chains that own the book, magazine, music, television and film industries.

In every community and on any topic, AFreePress.com and GetlocalNews.com let you decide what's important.

If there is a topic you want discussed or a community of any kind you would like included, please email us at topics@AFreePress.com.

If you would like to run one of our existing communities or publish your own and share in the revenues, see our Community Publisher information page at: www.getlocalnews.com/cpublisher.cfm.
