We’re a news app with the look and feel of social media, the journalistic rigor of traditional newsrooms and a focus on local.

A FOCUS ON LOCAL
Wondering why you’re hearing sirens on your block? Or what happened at your community board meeting last night? We got you. Forth offers hyperlocal updates in addition to national and global headlines. Our journalists are experts in the neighborhoods and subjects they cover.

THREADED STORYTELLING
Forth takes the best of social media (brevity, threads) and leaves the rest. You can easily skim headlines and have a sense of what’s going on -- or dig in deeper. Each story is concise but offers context.

TRUSTWORTHY JOURNALISTS ONLY
The only people who can post on Forth are trustworthy journalists. Every journalist on our platform must agree to our Editorial Policy. Our editorial team pre-vets each journalist based on these guidelines and their past reporting experience. Anyone who violates the rules face deplatforming.
