Our Vision
To help local newspapers not just survive, but thrive, amidst a world dominated by tech giants and social media noise.
We provide a sustainable, low-cost virtual newsstand that enables local newspapers to reclaim their digital presence, connect deeply with readers, and engage local advertisers while maintaining their independence and legacy.
By partnering with local newspapers to design and implement the Local Ink platform, we aim to empower local journalism and ensure it remains a vital, trusted voice in communities across Canada.
Shared Infrastructure for Small Newspapers
Technology can be expensive and complex. Platforms like ISSUU are built for other markets, making them unattainable and a poor fit for local newspapers.
Local Ink will offer the capability to distribute your e-edition, manage subscriptions, and connect with e-subscribers, with the reporting required to justify advertising investments.
Purpose Built
We help publishers protect e-edition revenue, grow subscriber
bases, and deliver ad-ready analytics, all through a secure,
user-friendly platform designed to modernize distribution and monetize digital readership.
Know your Readers
By tracking readership by postal code, you'll be able to offer advertisers meaningful readership insights, justifying their investment.
We will provide the metrics required so local newspapers truly understand their readers behaviour and habits and to ensure media advertisers appropriately target ad placements to reach the right community.
Mobile and Web Readers
E-editions offer readers a deeper connection to their community, providing a cohesive experience that traditional web news sites cannot match.
While web articles are often consumed in isolation, an e-edition allows subscribers to engage with the full narrative, offering a richer and more meaningful experience.
Accessible on phones, tablets, or computers, our virtual newsstand provides the flexibility and ease of access modern readers expect.
