Running a local news operation taught us that incredible stories exist in every corner of our community. But we were drowning in interview coordination, endless email chains, and manual follow-ups. We needed a way to tell more local stories without sacrificing quality or adding staff. First, we automated our own interview process. Then our business spotlight series. Soon, other local publishers started asking about our process. That's when we realized: every local publisher faces these same challenges. By sharing our solution, we could help more communities tell their stories.
