Few people have the time to read articles in their local newspaper. Instead most people just skim the newspaper on their phone when they have a few spare minutes. In fact, the Washington Post stated that more than 60% of people read nothing more than news headlines.

LocalSKIM was created to give readers a better option than headline scanning. We aggregate the local news and then provide you with the most relevant information in a quick, fun format.  Using bullet point posts and social media postings, LocalSKIM will keep you updated on local news, events, weather, and sports in your community.

LocalSKIM provides journalists and entrepreneurs with the platform and tools to run their own news website in the community where they live.  Each community site is independently owned and operated but all sites use the same centralized platform. This approach drastically reduces the cost of operating an independent news website. As well, since each LocalSKIM community site requires only a single reporter (and in fact a single reporter can actually operate multiple sites) expenses are a fraction of what it costs to operate an online newspaper.
