📰 Independent Local Media for Northeast Pennsylvania

NEPA Media Group, LLC is a privately owned, independent media organization dedicated to strengthening local journalism, civic engagement, and open public dialogue across Northeast PA.

We operate a growing network of digital platforms that monitor local governments, publish citizen-submitted stories, support small businesses and nonprofits, and share verified local information — all without corporate backing or paywalls.

📊 We Rank — and We’re Growing Fast

Our sites consistently rank in the Top 5 Google results for over 10 municipal keywords in Monroe County alone, with search traffic growing steadily across the region.

Our network began with a pilot in Barrett Township (2015), expanded to full Monroe County coverage in 2023, and recently launched in Lackawanna County. New platforms for Pike and Wayne counties are in development.

⚙️ Built for Transparency

We don’t just report stories — we build infrastructure for accountability.

  • ✅ Watchdog Reporting System
    Custom-built scrapers, calendar feeds, and document monitors track meetings, agendas, and public notices. Each county features a dedicated “Reporter” page that turns raw data into real civic awareness.
  • ✅ Privacy-First Civic Chat (Matrix)
    Real-time civic conversation hosted on self-managed Matrix servers — no Facebook, no algorithms, no surveillance.
  • ✅ Community Directory & Events Calendar
    Free tools for local businesses, nonprofits, churches, and residents to share events and announcements.

🙌 Built for the People

We believe in community-first journalism. That means:

  • Free Business Listings — Small business owners can post in our local directories at no cost.
  • Support for Nonprofits & Churches — Promote your events (bake sales, festivals, fundraisers) for free.
  • Tips & Letters to the Editor — Concerned citizens can submit news tips, right-to-know requests, and opinion pieces. We’ve already trained locals on how to access public records — and helped turn tips into real investigations.

🚀 Independent. Local. Growing.

NEPA Media Group, LLC is committed to delivering timely, factual, and relevant local coverage — without corporate influence or paywalls. All sites are developed and managed in-house, ensuring both editorial freedom and technical agility.

We believe that well-informed citizens make stronger communities. And we’re just getting started.
