Social news media to support local journalism

For too long, content contributors have not been paid for their work.

Verified News Network (VNN) has spent the last three years researching and experimenting with social media designed exclusively for verified news.  

At the beginning of 2021, VNN began its most ambitious project yet. We took everything we learned from research and field study and incorporated it into developing the new VNN app. More features. More benefits. More collaboration. 

Your contribution today will help fund local news stories that matter.

Our new platform not only provides communities with news and information verified by AI and human moderators, it gives journalists and affiliates a much needed avenue to monetize their work. 

Help amplify more voices, and create more jobs in local news.

Right now, journalists and affiliates receive a 50% share of display ad revenue on stories they upload to the new VNN app. VNN retains the other 50% to pay for first phase development of the new VNN app. As soon as that is paid off, VNN’s revenue share drops to just 10% to fund further maintenance and development.

The good news is we are already a quarter of the way to payoff. 

That's right. Our total project was just under $39k. And we've already paid off about $9k. But we still have $30k left to pay off before our journalists and affiliates can really reap the benefits.

Will you help the revenue share for journalists and affiliates jump up to 90%? Please donate today! 

Thank you for becoming part of the news industry revolution!
