Report what’s happening in your town, step by step, with an editor in your corner. Get published on your city’s page and level up your press pass. Lil City is local news written by student reporters, ages 13 and up. Got something happening in town? A new skate park, the farmers market, a team on a winning streak, a neighbor who helps everyone? Lil City walks you through turning it into a real news story, and an editor checks every story before it’s published on your city’s page. REPORT IN SIX SHORT STEPS Headline, what happened, why it matters, who you talked to, photos, and a final check. Your draft saves as you go, even offline, and syncs when you’re back online. STORY LEADS FROM YOUR EDITORS Not sure what to cover? Claim a lead picked by your city’s editors. Each lead comes with an angle and the questions to ask, so you know where to start. Then you go and report it yourself. AN EDITOR IN YOUR CORNER Every story is reviewed before anyone can read it. If it needs work, you’ll see a note from your editor and can revise and resend it. A clear timeline shows where your story is. LEVEL UP Earn XP when your stories are published, keep a weekly streak, unlock badges for good journalism habits, and watch your press pass evolve from Cub Reporter to Editor-in-Chief. Your beats level up too. Cities work toward team goals together, with no leaderboards. BUILD A PORTFOLIO Log your volunteer reporting hours for an editor to verify, and turn on a public portfolio of your published work when you’re ready. SAFE BY DESIGN - Public bylines use your first name and last initial, or an approved pen name. - Your school, email and birthday are never shown publicly. - Reporters under 18 need a parent or guardian’s permission before anything is published. - Photo location data is removed. - No ads, no tracking, no comments and no direct messages. - Anyone can report a story or block a reporter, and you can delete your account in the app at any time. Lil City. Big stories, little city.
