When the paper closes, the school board votes in secret. The pothole never gets fixed. The restaurant reopens without anyone knowing. Your community doesn't just lose a newspaper — it loses its voice.
Nosy News gives it back.
Every local story starts small. Nosy News lets the community snap on — adding pieces until the full picture emerges.
Spot something happening in your neighborhood? Post a quick update from your phone — location-tagged and timestamped in seconds.
Neighbors add photos, eyewitness accounts, missing context, corrections — each piece verified by GPS to confirm they were actually there.
The community collectively verifies each claim. Disputed legos get flagged. Confirmed facts rise. The story becomes trustworthy.
Every sentence can be confirmed or disputed independently. Precision accountability, not just headline vibes.
Only people who were physically at an event can verify its facts. No armchair confirmation.
Earn credibility with every accurate report. Your track record travels with your byline.
Struggling to phrase it right? AI helps you write clearly — the facts and the voice stay yours.
Get notified the moment something happens within your chosen radius. Be first, not last.
Multiple contributors can add images to a single story, building a visual record together.
From Friday night lights to city council drama — Nosy News covers the beats that actually matter to the people who live there.
"Think X meets Substack meets Wikipedia — but for your block."
