For publishers · Frontpage
A space your newsroom owns
Reach your audience on the open social web, without renting the ground you stand on.
-
Why it matters
Newsrooms spent two decades building audiences on platforms they did not control, and then watched the reach get switched off. The open social web changes the power dynamics. The social web is open, the identity layer is shared, and no single company decides who sees your journalism. -
A venue you own
Frontpage is a space your organization owns inside that open network. Your audience finds you on a multitude of apps, and only you own the relationship with them. The technical layer underneath is a shared open standard called the AT Protocol, that hundreds of apps are built on. -
What Frontpage does for you
Today, Frontpage auto-publishes from your RSS feed, aggregates the conversation around your articles, and lists your journalists for readers to follow. Soon, you will be able to feature content, customize your page, incorporate livestreaming and much more. You can claim your Frontpage today with our Publisher tool.
