From a name to a live site in three steps

Step 1

Name a town or a topic

A place, a sport, a music scene, an industry — anything. We research it and design the whole site for you.

Step 2

We find and connect the sources

Newshound discovers every relevant local outlet, feed, and site and wires them in — the part that's hours of work by hand.

Step 3

It updates daily, sends weekly

Your site refreshes automatically every day. Once a week, agents package the best stories into a newsletter, each linked to its source. You review, or automate the send.

Other tools cost more and still make you do the work

Newsletter platforms hand you an empty page and make you find every source yourself. Newshoundhands you a site that's already wired to the news.
