"Enter Plucky Wire, a dead-simple website for finding and sharing stories for republication. Plucky was incubated in an unlikely place: the tiny Granite State News Collaborative in New Hampshire. Its beginnings have given the platform a scrappy sensibility and made it uber-responsive to local news publishers from the start. Under director Melanie Plenda, the Granite State News Collaborative has forged connections between one-time competitors, introduced new content-sharing partnerships, and launched a press freedom and media literacy campaign across the small New England state."
"Developed by Johnny Bassett, Plucky started from a simple premise: content sharing and collaboration among willing news partners shouldn't be this hard. The Plucky platform now has more than 200 publishers, from the couple dozen in the Granite State News Collaborative to major nonprofit news sites like The Conversation. It's free for news publishers that download fewer than 10 articles per month."
Plucky Wire is a lightweight website that helps local news outlets find and share stories for republication. The platform originated at the Granite State News Collaborative in New Hampshire and emphasizes simplicity and responsiveness to publishers' needs. The platform addresses shrinking newsroom capacity, costly national wire services, and cumbersome ad hoc sharing via Google Docs and email. Plucky was developed by Johnny Bassett to streamline content sharing and collaboration among willing news partners. More than 200 publishers now participate, ranging from small local outlets to major nonprofit sites, and a free tier allows fewer than ten article downloads per month.
