MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NewsBreak, The Nation's Leading Local News App, is celebrating significant local-publisher growth in 2021. 956 publications, including local news tv and radio stations, partnered with and joined the NewsBreak platform last year alone.

NewsBreak connects and empowers local users, local content contributors, and local businesses at scale, with the goal of helping people everywhere live safer, more vibrant, more truly connected lives. By forging close partnerships with thousands of local publishers and businesses around the country, NewsBreak's priority is helping a new generation of readers find and engage with vital, locally published content and information.

These additional publications will help bring a greater density of local journalism to millions of NewsBreak users across the country.

Publications that joined in 2021 represent communities from across the country including the Tampa Bay Times, The Idaho State Journal, the Vermont Digger and the San Jose Spotlight.

"Each new publication that joins the NewsBreak community is a valued partner, and we are proud to have so many new local partners this year. As the NewsBreak publisher community grows, we are better able to bring users the best and most reliable information from all around their neighborhoods," said Jeff Zheng, founder and CEO of NewsBreak.

NewsBreak is a local-news platform that supports local communities by providing users with easy access to the news and information that is most important to them. By providing just a zip code or town name, a user can quickly see what is happening near where they live and work.
