Newspack, the Automattic (WordPress) project tailored to small and medium-sized newsrooms, announced some time ago that it had already added a healthy number of new clients to its portfolio. Now it confirms the arrival of five more in July.
The following news organisations now use Newspack as their CMS:
- The Seattle Metro News is a trusted news source for central and south-east Seattle. Its mission is to deliver news, information and stories that matter, with a special emphasis on the voices and experiences of underserved communities often overlooked by mainstream media.
- The New Pine Plains Herald, based in New York, was founded in 2022 with the aim of serving as a carefully researched and reported online source of local news and information.
- Bridge Michigan is the second site from the Bridge Michigan family to launch on Newspack after BridgeDetroit. Bridge Michigan is the largest non-profit news service in the state and one of the country’s leading providers of civic news.
- Brookline.news is an independent, non-profit news organisation dedicated to providing comprehensive local coverage to the diverse city of Brookline, Massachusetts. Brookline.news works to empower the next generation of journalists and to build a hyper-local media network that benefits from shared best practices and economies of scale.
- Streetcar Suburbs Publishing Inc. delivers hyper-local news and information to communities along the Route 1 corridor near Washington, DC. This site comprises three titles: College Park, Hyattsville and The Laurel Independent.
All these outlets are based in the United States. The United States is undoubtedly Newspack’s main market and the one on which it is most focused. According to this page, 295 outlets use this CMS at the time of writing.
Newspack will be present at Ainnovación 2025, the major artificial-intelligence event organised by CMS MAG. Free tickets are still available if you are interested in seeing the AI features of the market’s most powerful CMSs.
