The Newsmast Foundation

The Newsmast Foundation
News anchors the web. Big platforms own it. The Apps for Change programme from The Newsmast Foundation is the ethical challenger to oligarch-owned social silos. It’s your community, and you deserve your own social platform. Transforming readers into an engaged community with our affordable, easy-to-use mobile apps. Here’s a snapshot of how it works:

Audience. We build apps and platforms tailored to the needs of public interest audiences - in news, podcasting, academic networking, local events and local language communities.
Content. Our apps support short-form posting, long-form writing, podcasts, video, events calendars, maps, member directories and other community resources.
Tech stack. Our apps sit on top of an independent, open-source tech stack, running mobile and web apps, curated content feeds, and a safe, moderated community hub.
Affordability. There’s no set-up fee, we tailor a low monthly fee based on the size of your organisation and how much you can afford to pay.
Own-branded. Our apps are designed and branded for your community, from logo to colours to fonts. We help you launch on the app stores in your name.
We’re part of a movement in the US and around the world, where communities are getting together outside the mainstream social platforms to build connections and make change. In local neighbourhoods, at events, on WhatsApp - and on our community platforms.
