Local Frontline · newsroom website

The newsroom website built for local news.

Read-along audio, weekly podcasts, live webcams, and ads that pay — a reader-facing site that turns your edition into an experience people come back to, on every screen.

Built with you in mind

News as an immersive digital experience.

Read-along auto-scroll

Audio narration synced to the text, with the current paragraph highlighted and the page scrolling on its own. Hands-free for commuters; essential for readers who can't see the page well.

Weekly summary podcasts

Every edition becomes a produced audio summary with natural AI voices, published to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio automatically.

Live webcams

Real-time streams of local landmarks, events, and public spaces embedded on the site — the paper becomes the town's window.

Ads that don't interrupt

Banner, sidebar, and end-of-article video placements that play after the narration finishes. Revenue without wrecking the read.

Responsive, fast, accessible

One design for desktop, tablet, and phone. Quick loads, clear navigation, WCAG-minded from the start.

Your brand, your CMS

Customizable themes and a feed from the CMS you already publish with. Pairs with Alexa for Publishers and Podcast Studio.

Live webcams

Bring the community closer

Scenic views, downtown, the fairgrounds, the pass — readers check the live feed, then read the story. It's the reason they open the site twice a day.

Smooth ad integration
