I love that NewsBreak has provided a platform that helps me directly communicate with my local community, from interviews with locals who deserve a spotlight shone on them to event and small business news. Through publishing on NewsBreak, I've been able to bring my community together and remind them daily what makes it so special. NewsBreak is so important, especially at a time in history when local journalism is dying. I'm so thankful for a platform like NewsBreak that prioritizes local stories.

I love writing for NewsBreak because nothing beats the thrill of turning my caffeine-fueled ramblings into actual published news. I get the thrill of being an expert for 30 minutes before remembering I barely know how to use a stapler. It’s also cheaper than therapy and way more judgmental than my family.
