SuburbStory focuses on essential local information that is often overlooked. This includes community notices, local government updates, public service information, and news for areas identified as "news deserts" (places with no traditional local news presence).
We are not competing with human journalists. Instead, we use advanced AI to gather and present local information, filling critical gaps in news coverage, especially in areas where traditional journalism resources are limited or absent.
We are committed to trustworthy reporting. Our AI is designed to process and summarize publicly available data from reliable sources, ensuring the information provided is accurate and relevant to the community. We prioritize transparency in our use of AI.
Currently, SuburbStory provides news for suburbs in New South Wales. We are actively working to expand our coverage to other states and territories across Australia, and more updates will be available soon!
