📰 For Local Journalists

Your work belongs in front of local families

If you cover high school sports for a local outlet, feature your stories here. It is free, you keep the byline, and every card links straight back to your article on your own site. We send readers to you, never the other way around. Your stories appear to families in the area you cover.

1. Submit

Paste your story link

Your outlet, your byline, the headline, and the link. Takes a minute.

2. We review

A quick human check

We confirm it is real local coverage, then it goes live. Nothing is edited or copied.

3. It runs local

Credited, and linked to you

It rotates in the local news spot for readers in your coverage area, with your name and a link to your site.

How Your Story Runs

On the same stage as the national names

Every recruiting page carries a rotating band called Around the Recruiting World. It cycles through the biggest names in the business, ESPN, MaxPreps, 247Sports, On3 and Rivals, and it refreshes on its own. Your story joins that same rotation. The difference is that yours is shown first, and only, to readers the app places in your coverage area, marked with a green Near you tag. A family in Rochester sees your Section V coverage before they ever see a national headline. A family in Texas sees theirs. You are not competing with the national outlets, you are the local voice sitting right next to them.

Why It Helps Your Newsroom

Free readers, sent to your page

A built-in local audience

The families and athletes already on this platform in your area are exactly the readers you want. Your story lands in front of them automatically.

Every click goes to you

The card links straight to your article on your own site. The traffic, the page views, and the subscribers are yours. We keep nothing.

Your byline, your credit

Your name and your outlet are on the card. We never copy or reprint your article, and there is no exclusivity, keep publishing everywhere you already do.

Free, and it stays free

No fee, no account required, no catch. This platform is free for families and coaches, and it is free for the journalists who cover them.

Submit a story
