Your neighborhood's news, told by someone who lives it.
Juncture is local news reported by the people who are actually there. Cover your street, your city, and the homeland you carry with you, in your own language, and be credited as the source. This is where you start.
What a Juncture reporter does
You file original reports about what is happening where you live: an opening, a closure, a vigil, a festival, a council decision, a milestone. Not anonymous aggregation, and not pundits far away. People reporting the places they know, credited by name.
- Original local reportingFirst-hand news from the ground, the things only someone who is there would notice.
- Credited as the sourceYour byline travels with every story. Readers see who reported it, and your profile collects your work.
- In your own languageWrite in the language you think in. Juncture translates it for everyone else, and never rewrites your reporting.
Start and lead a community
Grow from reporter into a community editor and run your own local newsroom, one that bridges the culture you come from and the place you live now. You apply, and our team helps you set it up: the place, the culture, the first reporters. We build it with you, so it is yours from the start.
- A newsroom for your culture and your city, in the language your people read.
- Bring in reporters, shape the coverage, and decide what your community needs to know.
- Not instant or self-serve. You apply, and we set it up together so it is done right.
Earn from local ads, the honest way
Juncture is built so community editors share in the local ad revenue their newsroom brings in. The multicultural and diaspora local-ad market is large and underserved, and that is the opportunity we are building toward. This is the model and the vision, not a paycheck waiting for you.
Juncture has not launched and no ads are running yet, so there are no earnings to promise and no numbers to quote. What we can promise is how it will work.
- Editors share in the revenue from their own community's local ads.
- Every ad is clearly labelled and kept out of the reading flow.
- Supporters never see ads at all. That is one of the Juncture Promises.
