The Common News - Municipal news & local government transparency

Local politics is currently designed for people with infinite free time to find information buried in PDFs and live streams. We built The Common News to fit the lifestyle of young adults and professionals interested in their local government. Unlike traditional media, which is broad, we are hyper-specific and allow you to look for exactly what you want.
