Useful Webapps for Local Newspapers


Local newspapers are an essential part of the welfare of every community. The internet has challenged that and many local newspapers have struggled to survive with all the changes that have affected advertising and readers’ habits.

In a recent article by The Economist there is an in depth research on the new trend to recuperate the life of the local newspapers. These are some apps that will help local newspapers in this new endeavour:

1. Substack

Substack will help you add subscribers to your newsletters, and there is a possiblity to charge them. Read more at https://substack.com/local-news

2. Medium

This is another popular platform that will help your local news get more readers, and get paid while doing so. Checkout https://medium.com/creators

3. Patreon

Another cloud platform for creators of all kind, that also supports written media. Have a look at https://www.patreon.com/c/writing

And how to add real-time interviews and chats to your local news website?

We would like to take this chance to introduce you to Dilmot.com, the platform to help you organise and publish your live chats with the relevant people in your web. Check out https://www.dilmot.com/

A live blog or chat that you can embed inside your web


If you are looking for a way of publishing live chats, blogging, Q&A’s and events, you can use dilmot.com.

It is very simple to use. You just have to create an account in dilmot.com. In Dilmot we call “stream” to the live session that is going to be published. This stream can be included in your website like a live feed. So you just have to create a stream for the event you want to cover live, whether it is a Q&A, broadcasting a football match, etc. You may insert this stream in your blog or web, with a simple iframe code that you can put in your webpage. This works in a similar fashion to inserting a live YouTube video.

In the following image you can see the area in the application where you can get the code that you can use to insert your web.

In the following image you can see how the live stream will show embedded into an on-line newspaper such as Elconfidencial.com
Y en la siguiente imagen puedes ver como queda insertado el encuentro digital dentro de un diario on-line como El Confidencial.
