Join the Local Media Loop β a cooperative of local newspapers, public radio, independent journalists and community newsrooms who pool reporting and share the cost of professional polling so that no town's government runs in the dark.
You earn 75% of ALL ad revenue you generate. Advertisers inside and outside of your area will be able to place ads automatically at rates you determine β you have control over ad pricing. Our ad system is based on the bid system like Google uses, so you can set any minimums for any category of ad.
Every media member has fewer reporters covering the same budget meetings. Pooling resources benefits all β share leads, and cover more ground together without giving up your voice. Articles of local political interest will have a link back to your site.
Professional polling is out of reach for most local outlets. LGN poll pricing runs from $2.75 per person polled to $15.00 per person polled. We run promos for prebuys and you earn 10% of that prebuy if it came from your LGN page β and you earn $0.50 each time a member who signed up directly under you is polled, so members' responses run real polls that earn headlines. You will know the demographics of your members like never before.
Access a clean, continuously-updated directory of federal, state and county officials, committees and bills β scraped from gov sites and your input. Pollsters pay as low as $2.75 per completed survey response β pollsters pay only for what they use.
Membership is free to join for any person or group.
