The Local

The Local Hypervocal = News with Views
Enjoy The Local's free printed grassroots newspaper online & around town Anchored by other N.I.C.E. Available free from advertisers.

The Local started in October 2014 as , a page for photos & items of interest specific to a small neighborhood in NW Philly where we live. In 2019, we changed our name to "The Local" when we branched out to Germantown & other surrounding communities. By 2021 we had teamed up with WHYY's News & Information Community Exchange program, and then in 2022, we began publishing with one of our N.I.C.E. partners, REVIVE Media, to become Philadelphia's first grassroots collaborative newspaper. partners, The Local now features strong voices from all over the city from a variety of media platforms. A printed local news publication is crucial as the city undergrows tremendous growth & change. Philadelphia remains however one of the most segregated cities in America. The Local paper seeks to disrupt that narrative, creating an inclusive media space for conscious conversation across cultures, ages, classes, and boundaries of all kinds. ADVERTISERS Along with traditional advertising, we'll brainstorm creative, value-added engagement with our lively, diverse online community: [email protected]
