NYC Newswire hyperlocal
news goes global

By leveraging the Lookatmedia™ platform, NYC Newswire connects with journalists, bloggers, and content creators worldwide, offering them unparalleled access to authentic New York stories. From breaking political news to cultural highlights like the top bagel spots or soul food gems across the five boroughs, NYC Newswire is now positioned to keep the world in touch with the pulse of New York.

A Global Gateway for New York Stories

Recognizing the global appetite for all things New York, NYC Newswire’s new platform offers journalists and creators free access to illustrated narratives, pre-approved media-compliant images, and videos. These resources are available 24/7 through a simple registration process, ensuring that compelling stories of New York are just a click away.

“New York is instantly recognizable across the globe,” says Vernon Jones of JIG Media. “This platform gives journalists the tools to share uniquely New York narratives with authenticity and ease.”

Trust in Local News Fuels Expansion

In a media landscape often clouded by misinformation, local news remains a trusted source. Studies show trust in local outlets far outpaces that in national media, with ratings three to four times higher in many parts of the U.S. As a verified local news provider, NYC Newswire’s adoption of Lookatmedia™ solidifies its role as a go-to resource for authentic stories.

This new platform is designed to make sourcing and sharing stories practical, secure, and seamless, reinforcing NYC Newswire’s position as a trusted partner for journalists, bloggers, podcasters, and influencers worldwide.

Countering AI-Generated Fake News

As the media industry grapples with the rise of AI-generated fake narratives, NYC Newswire’s partnership with Lookatmedia™ serves as a beacon of reliability. The platform ensures that all stories, images, and videos are authentic and protected from tampering, addressing the growing concern of disinformation in 2025 and beyond.

Lookatmedia™ is gaining traction among organizations nationwide, providing a practical solution for combating fake news and safeguarding reputations.

A Vision for the Future of Media

“We saw the opportunity with Lookatmedia™ to rewrite the rule book for hyperlocal news,” says Vernon Jones. “The future of the media environment depends on solutions like this. Once we understood the scope of what we could achieve and how we could support journalists globally, we ran—not walked—to be the first publication to adopt this groundbreaking technology.”

NYC Newswire’s move sets a new standard for hyperlocal news, proving that with the right tools, even the most community-focused stories can have a global impact.
