The Complete Platform for Local Publishers
Local Press gives your publication everything it needs — website, newsletter, classifieds, legal notices, jobs board, memberships, and more. Your brand. Your county. Your revenue.
County exclusivity included. We only accept one publisher per county — your territory is protected as long as you're a subscriber.
Everything a local publisher needs to generate revenue
One platform. No patchwork of tools. No Substack, Ghost, or Mailchimp pieced together.
Your Brand, Your Domain
Full white-label. Custom domain, your logo, your colors. Readers only see your publication — never Local Press.
Newsletter Built In
Grow your list and send beautiful newsletters directly from the platform. No Mailchimp, no Substack, no extra fee.
Classifieds & Legal Notices
Built-in classifieds marketplace and a paid legal notices portal. Submitters pay by card — revenue goes straight to you.
Jobs Board
Local employers pay to post jobs. Listings are managed from your admin dashboard and expire automatically.
Memberships & Subscriptions
Monthly, annual, and founding member tiers via Stripe. 100% of payments go to your bank account — we take nothing.
Podcast Section
Dedicated podcast pages with episode management. Embed any feed or host your own.
Sponsor & Ad Management
Sell ad placements, track renewals, and manage sponsors from one dashboard. Rotate ads automatically.
Community Features
Obituaries, announcements, a garage sale map, photo archive, Best of community voting, and more — all included.
Print Issue Management
Upload PDF issues, display a magazine-style flipbook, and assign notices to print runs automatically.
