| 0:00.0 | All right. |
| 0:07.2 | Joining us now is Sam Anthony of YourNews.com. |
| 0:11.5 | Again, a hyper-local news content distribution platform. |
| 0:15.0 | It's also a way that you can monetize your reporting locally, and I think this is really |
| 0:20.6 | vital. I think it's vital for |
| 0:22.4 | us to have an independent media. I think it's vital for us to have local information. And I think |
| 0:28.4 | that all politics is ultimately local, even though we have to understand what the national and the |
| 0:34.4 | global agenda is. That's the context for it, and that's where it's coming up. |
| 0:38.0 | But the way that you stop it is going to be locally, I think. So joining us now is Sam Anthony. Thank you for joining us, Sam. David, great to be here. Good to see you again. Good to see you. Tell us a little bit about your news.com. It's been a while since we talked. Yeah, and by the way, a lot has changed. |
| 0:54.0 | But, I mean, in terms of, you know, our growth, we've been expanding and growing every day. |
| 0:58.7 | So for your audience, your news.com is a hyper-local news platform. |
| 1:04.2 | So it would look like a news website, but we're in every city in the United States. |

The model is really the exact replication of the physical world, like how the media industry works, minus all the print and distribution costs, and it allows the public to interact and share in the narrative locally, and in essence put the power of the press back in the hands of the people where it belongs. That's the short version. That's great. So people go to New YorkNews.com, and then I guess they can put in their zip code, and you'll connect them with that. Is that how it works from the... Not only do we have local news, we have national news, |
| 1:46.4 | and we're expanding it growing daily. |
| 1:48.1 | We're onboarding news reporters every single day. |
| 1:51.0 | So it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. |
| 1:53.5 | And by the way, the reason for that is, I don't know if you know this tape, |
| 1:56.5 | but I get all my content creators or many of them from people that were part of the, you know, they were displaced in the media industry because they, of all the layoffs, right? |
| 2:08.6 | So there's roughly a half a million people on LinkedIn that call themselves freelance journalists. |
| 2:13.3 | There's a couple hundred thousand students that came out of school and they have nowhere to go. |
| 2:16.8 | So, you know, there's nobody hiring in the space. |
