Different inquiries route to different places. Pick the one that fits.
Bring a Community News newsroom to your community
You operate or are starting a community newsroom and want to evaluate whether the platform fits. We treat this as a real conversation, not a sales funnel. Write us a paragraph or two about your community: where you are, what the public-meeting cadence looks like, who is on the editorial team you have or could assemble, what is failing locally.
Email: [email protected] Subject line: New community: [your community name]
We aim to reply within five business days with an honest fit assessment.
Reading first: For your community.
Press inquiries
You are writing about local-news AI, the platform, or the broader question of how journalism survives in the local news desert. We talk to journalists. Specific is better than general; we will respond to a thoughtful question faster than a "please tell me about your company" prompt.
Email: [email protected] For Alaska News editorial inquiries (specific stories, sourcing questions): contact the Alaska News editorial team directly at alaskanews.news/contact
Foundation, partnership, and funding
You support local journalism and want to understand the platform's funding model, expansion plans, or where strategic partnership could help. We are deliberate about this and prefer substantive first conversations over deck-driven pitches.
Email: [email protected] Include: who you are, what you support, and what specific aspect of the work you want to discuss.
Engineering, research, or technical collaboration
You work on AI for journalism, civic-tech, distributed compute, or related areas and want to compare notes or explore collaboration. We read these.
Email: [email protected] Subject line: Tech: [topic]
For specific bugs, feature requests, or feedback about the platform itself, the public issue tracker is github.com/news-community/public/issues.

Want to contribute
There are three paths to participate in the live newsroom (Alaska News today, others as the platform expands):
- As a citizen journalist: alaskanews.news/journalist
- As a compute volunteer: alaskanews.news/worker/apply
- As a reader who supports journalists with credits: alaskanews.news/signup
These paths are for the community newsrooms themselves, not for the platform company. To engage with Community News LLC directly, use the email addresses above.
