Beyond the plans
Ways we work with you.
For existing newsrooms
Newspaper, news or radio station, podcast, newsletter — already doing the work?
If you already run a newsroom and you're looking for a new home for your infrastructure, we'd love to work with you — running at the lowest possible cost is a mission of ours. Bring your domain, your team, and your advertisers — we'll help you move the pieces and keep what already works.
Reach out and we'll talk through enterprise options built around your operation.
For student journalism
High school papers & campus newsrooms
Journalism can teach civics — and civics can teach journalism. Neither should feel intimidating. We're looking to establish collaborators and run pilot programs with high schools and university journalism programs: administrators, teachers & professors stay in charge, we're flexible about how student accounts get set up, and it's free to experiment with us.
Wondering where to start? Our resources page collects courses and tools that can take a curious student to a working contributor.
