Everything Local,
All In Your Pocket
Go New Paper is the hyperlocal community hub that puts your town's events, businesses, jobs, and news into one beautiful, free app.
Small Towns Deserve Better Than Scattered Information
Local newspapers are disappearing. Facebook algorithms bury community posts. City websites cover government meetings but not daily life. Your residents are left piecing together information from a dozen different sources just to know what's happening in their own town.
Traditional municipal platforms cost $15,000–$25,000+ per year and only cover government business. They don't tell you who's hiring, who passed away, or what events are coming up this weekend.
Go New Paper changes that. One app. Everything local. Free for every resident.
One App. Eleven Tabs. Your Whole Town.
Every piece of your community's daily life, organized and accessible.
Your Member Businesses,

Stop competing with Facebook algorithms to reach your own community. Go New Paper gives Chamber members a permanent, searchable home in every resident's pocket.
- Events auto-sync from your Chamber calendar — zero staff time
- Member businesses get priority placement in the Business tab

Weather Moves Your Concert Indoors?
Residents Know in Seconds.
Organizers and community admins can update any event's location, date, or time — or cancel it outright — and every resident who marked “Interested” gets an instant push notification. No scrambling on Facebook. No missed updates.
The Saturday scenario
It's 4:00 PM. Your 6:00 PM concert in the park just got rained out. The old way: panic-post to Facebook, hope people see it, field a dozen phone calls. The Go New Paper way: open the event, tap Edit, type the new location, hit Save & Notify.
Organizers edit their own events
Anyone who posted an event through the app can update it anytime — no back-and-forth with an admin.
Admins cover scraped events too
Chamber, Lucas County ED, and city-calendar events get the same live-update powers through community admins.
Smart push notifications
Only residents who marked “Interested” get notified — auto-filled with the change, editable before sending.
From weather call to notified — under a minute
Edits and notifications happen in real time. No emails, no approval delays, no phone trees.

Community Hero partnership pricing is based on population — starting at $2,477/yr for towns under 10,000. Additional revenue comes from self-service business listing tiers — Community Professional ($100/yr) and Community Sponsor ($250/yr). The app is always free for residents.
Events auto-sync from community calendars (Chamber, city, school iCal feeds). Community members can also submit events through the app, which are reviewed before publishing. No manual data entry needed from your staff.
Absolutely. Each town gets its own themed experience with local colors, mascots, and branding. The multi-town architecture means your community gets a dedicated space while benefiting from the shared platform.
Go New Paper complements your existing presence. It consolidates scattered information (Facebook groups, city website, Chamber page, school calendar) into one pocket-sized hub. Think of it as the front door to everything local.
Residents opt-in to receive daily digests of new events, jobs, and community updates. Event reminders fire automatically. The system is designed to inform, not annoy — no spam, no irrelevant alerts.
