Monroe County Brown County Jackson County Washington County Greene County Orange County Lawrence County Martin Countybroco.news, headquartered in Nashville, Indiana, operates as a hybrid news aggregator and micro-blogging platform, supported by a team of 6 contributors. The platform represents an experimental model to bridge traditional local journalism with data-driven media, addressing the decline of Indiana-based publications, such as the Brown County Democrat, which have faced outsourcing or closure. This approach aims to sustain locally relevant content while integrating advanced technological tools.
Content production is not solely AI-driven. A locally hosted large language model (LLM) known as Mr. Newz serves as a supportive tool to enhance local journalism, not supplant it. The LLM assists contributors in research and article formatting, preserving human-driven narratives. Additionally, Mr. Newz can generate article suggestions or drafts by analyzing social media interactions, but all outputs undergo rigorous review and approval by one of 4 editors. Increased user engagement on the broco.news website and Facebook page directly influences the platform’s ability to produce contextually relevant content. This means that your comments on the page directly impact the AI (Mr. Newz)'s outlook when creating articles.
Mr. Newz has the capacity for analyzing feedback and content that is linked through a curated information repository to generate organic articles. Of our six contributors, three are trusted to check these articles, modify and review them. At no time is Mr. Newz allowed full uncontrolled access to post and interact with others. This may change over time as his parent company makes improvements.
The micro-blogging component enables contributors to establish individual blogs and integrate independently managed advertising accounts. This structure allows contributors to monetize their content based on performance and audience engagement, with earnings tied directly to their work’s popularity, independent of broco.news’s editorial stance or operations. This incentivizes high-quality, merit-based content creation. You start a blog account, link Google AdSense or ad service of your choice and cash in!
broco.news relies on community interaction to shape its content and sustainability. User engagement through the website and social media platforms determines the scope and relevance of locally focused media.
