The Press Line: a local line to the press
A proposed service for connecting people with verified journalists who cover the place or subject of a time-sensitive story.
Field notes
The requester flow is described as a short, mobile-first form that accepts email or phone verification and does not require an account or additional messaging app. Routing uses place, language, subject, and availability, with requests placed in a protected pool for verified journalists. The site says journalists retain editorial discretion and that direct contact details stay hidden until a legitimate match; the network itself is presented as a founding-stage effort.
