Community Gateway: For newspapers

Who knows your community better than the people who live there? Invite your readers to become community stringers by sharing their expert insight on local topics. Helium’s Community Gateway puts the power of ccommunity engagement behind your publication and gives you access to unique, quality content. Get custom articles on dining hot spots, town politics, the real estate market, hidden shopping jewels, the best dog parks and more – all from people who live in your community.

Create buzz

Achieve viral success by turning the local boutique owner, town selectman or stay-at-home mother into a community stringer for your newspaper. When writers get byline credit, they will spread the word and ultimately increase readership.

Spark Community Debate

Helium Debate is a self-moderating platform that encourages civil discourse and promotes meaningful articles. Feature Helium Debate in your online publication and eliminate comments and forums. Invite your community to get on the pro or con side of local, regional and national issues by writing compelling articles.
