About
Where do you get your news?
InOtherNews is a compilation of online, independent journalistic start-ups in the wake of legacy media layoffs and industry shrinkage.
E-mail me links to new news endeavors at jessdrkn@gmail.com. The (loose) criteria are that the sites serve as a “replacement” or supplemental news source in areas where the local newspaper or broadcast companies are dropping coverage. The scope can be local, state or national and be niche or broad-focussed — it just needs to be a journalistic endeavor with a newsgathering mission and not part of a corporate media site. However, no hate-speech sites please, such as a community site that serves only to bash a certain group or political figure or to spread unverified/false information.

This is a great idea – thanks for doing all of this work!
My Green Lake covers the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle, WA. We are the only independently-run site doing so.
Thanks very much – happy new year!

Hi — thank you for recommending your site to add to InOtherNews. I’m always looking for new ones.
Will you be at the Journalism That Matters event Jan. 7-11? It’s all about community journalism in the Pacific Northwest. I’m going.

Hi Jess
Congratulations on InOtherNews. As good local information becomes harder to come by, this is a great way for people to stay connected.
OnADifferentMatter, Since many laid off journalists may be without health care, one of your ION contacts might research the possibility of creating a group health insurance for your members in need.
Happy New Year and much success on your website
