We are currently in testing phase.
Our goal is to make the connection between the press and their sources friction free.
No accounts. No fees.
As a free community resource for the press and their sources, we will not have the time to adjudicate disputes between sources and the press.
So the rule is simple: A source should only reply a reporter if it is sure it can help with the enquiry. If a reporter labels a source's reply as spam, it will be barred from this service immediately.
Likewise, if a source encounters a “reporter” operating under a false premise (e.g. payment is required to be included in a story), that press member will be removed from the service.
Further information is contained in our Terms and Privacy Statement.
This is a project in progress and completely bootstrapped. New features may be added.
