I just hired a full-time journalist for The Bentonville Bulletin, and I'm keeping my day job at Indiegraf. Why not hire myself? There are two big reasons: 1) Many excellent journalists have been waiting for an opportunity like this. 2) I am a true believer in the work Indiegraf does. Indiegraf was started by sisters Erin Millar and Caitlin Havlak, who are local journalism entrepreneurs through Discourse Media (https://thediscourse.ca/). Over the past five years, I've witnessed first-hand the transformation of local journalism. Like you, I've seen trends and fads that feel like total bullshit. Like you, I've also seen numerous local news startups that give us hope for the future of journalism. I wholeheartedly believe Indiegraf is the real deal. Our founders are true believers in the power of journalism and have built a team of incredible experts, all focused on helping our clients revitalize local journalism. They are committed to diversity and continuously work to decrease barriers to entry in journalism. Indiegraf aims to enable visionaries worldwide to focus on their journalism. You do the news, we do the rest. Our all-in-one technology platform combines website, newsletter, and advertising technology in one simple bundle. I'm not a bullshitter. I will never sign my name to something that doesn't align with my values. If Indiegraf ever strays from its values, I'll quit that very day. But to date, this company has proven itself and lived up to its values like nothing else I've ever seen in the vendor space.
