1. What is the Local News Community?
Local News Community is an initiative to empower local journalism by providing full support in technology, content, and revenue — helping small news platforms survive and thrive.
2. Why is this needed?
Our survey revealed that many local news websites shut down because of:

• Lack of technical skills
• Limited access to quality, affordable content
• No sustainable way to earn money

We’re here to change that.
3. What kind of support do you provide?

A. Technical Support

• Website development and maintenance
• Server setup and hosting
• Ongoing tech support

B. Content Support

• Daily updates for National, World, Politics, Sports, Entertainment, and Social news
• Reliable and timely coverage you can publish directly on your platform

C. Monetary Support

• A sustainable revenue model to help you earn consistently
• Brand Tie-up and partnership options

4. Who can join the Local News Community?
Any Small Publication Owner, Independent journalist Or Mass Com Student who passionate about local journalism can apply.
5. How does LNC help reduce Publisher content costs?
We’ve introduced an innovative Barter System where members contribute and share content, making it both affordable and diverse. You get access to 400–500 high-quality news pieces daily from across India at a fraction of the typical cost.
6. What is the Barter Plan and how does it work?
Here’s how it works:

• You contribute: Upload 5–6 verified local news stories every day on the LNC website.
• You get access: Based on what you upload (text, photo, video), you get curated content in the same format — ready to publish.
• You pay just ?999/month: This token fee supports the cost of our servers, editorial team, and operational staff.

This way, everyone gives and everyone gains — together, we build a stronger network.
7. I’m a journalist and want to start my own news platform. Can LNC help me?
Absolutely! LNC is not just for news organizations — freelance and aspiring journalists are at the heart of our mission. If you want to build your own news platform and have your voice heard, we’re here to support you.
8. I’ve tried starting a WordPress site before and failed. How is LNC different?
WordPress can be a good start, but it often lacks scalability, technical strength, and a clear revenue model. That’s why LNC gives you a professionally built, high-performance website on platforms like .NET and JAVA — at zero setup cost.
9. Do I need to pay for website development?
Nope — the website is built at zero cost for you. You only pay a monthly fee of ?999 for server maintenance, optimization, and technical support.
