Six levels of coverage

It starts on your block. It goes as far as it matters.

  1. Neighborhoods

    Where almost every story starts. A block, a few streets, the people who see each other every day. Browse

  2. Cities

    The good news a whole town shares: Main Street, the schools, the business everybody roots for. Browse

  3. Counties

    Towns that share schools, hospitals and workforces share their good news too. Browse

  4. Regions

    The first level where a story reaches people who have never been to the town it came from. Browse

  5. States

    Statewide firsts, records, recoveries and the programs that touch every town in the state. Browse

  6. National

    The rare story that turns up everywhere at once, still carrying the name of the town it came from. Browse

Who Hello Newswire works with

The people who hear the good news first.

Chambers, downtown associations, schools, cities and nonprofits already know where the good news is. Hello Newswire gives them somewhere to send it.

  • Chambers of commerce

    Member milestones and district news, reported without turning it into promotion.

  • Main Street organizations

    The work of bringing a downtown back, documented block by block.

  • Professional associations

    The licenses, apprenticeships and standards your members earn.

  • Cities and municipalities

    Park openings, service milestones and the quiet work residents rarely see.

  • Schools and universities

    Student achievement, and a pipeline into Team Hello for your journalism program.

  • Nonprofits

    Capacity, volunteers and outcomes, reported as news rather than an appeal.
