What yourNEWS does

yourNEWS, legally operated under Nico Venture, Inc., is a privately held hyper-local social news and advertising platform headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and founded in 2016. The company aggregates national and local news content across categories including Business, Politics, Sports, Entertainment, Health, Lifestyle, and Local Events, and distinguishes itself through an integrated Citizen Journalism model that allows users to submit original reporting distributed on the site. The platform is operated by a team of 1–10 employees and was founded by Sam Anthony, who serves as Founder and President; the company is independent with no disclosed parent, no institutional funding rounds, and no identified management team beyond the founder.

The product surface extends beyond text-based news into multimedia, embedding live and on-demand video from partner networks including Lindell TV, Newsmax, One America News Network, Patriot TV, Real America's Voice, Trader TV, and Tucker Carlson. Additional sub-products include a Local Edition organized by U.S. geography, a Classifieds marketplace covering automotive, employment, real estate rentals and sales, services, and adjacent verticals, a Citizen Journalism submission portal, a Daily Puzzle engagement feature, and an installable Progressive Web App for iOS and Android. Distribution is concentrated on owned surfaces — the yournews.com website, social channels (Facebook yournewsdotcom, Twitter/X YourNewsMedia), and an RSS feed — with no native iOS/Android app store presence and no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML capabilities.

The business model is advertising-led. The company monetizes through a dedicated 'Advertise' order form on its website (yournews.com/ad-order-form/) and operates on the premise that citizen journalists participate in advertising revenue. No subscription tier, paywall, or premium content model is disclosed, and no B2B or enterprise pricing is in evidence. Customer segmentation identifies general news consumers across the United States as the primary audience served through a community-led go-to-market motion, with advertising buyers forming the indirect paying segment; specific advertiser names, subscription counts, MAU/DAU figures, revenue, and pricing details are not disclosed in the available source material.

Emerging players

• Newsmax: Newsmax is a national conservative cable/digital news outlet and one of yourNEWS's embedded video partners. It overlaps as a conservative news destination reaching the same audience and competing for the same political ad dollars.
• Nextdoor: Nextdoor is a hyper-local community platform organized by neighborhood. It is comparable to yourNEWS in targeting local U.S. geographies and serving as a hub for local information and SMB advertising, though its content is user-generated posts rather than news.
• One America News Network (OANN): OANN is a national conservative news network and another embedded video partner on yourNEWS. Comparable as a right-leaning news brand serving similar audiences, though primarily broadcast/distribution rather than local.
• Real America's Voice: Real America's Voice is a conservative cable/digital news outlet and embedded partner of yourNEWS. Comparable in niche political audience and video-led news consumption pattern.

Direct peers

• Breitbart News: Breitbart is a large conservative digital news publisher with national and section-based coverage. Overlaps with yourNEWS in political positioning, multi-category structure, and ad-driven monetization targeting a similar audience.
• Townhall: Townhall is a conservative news and opinion site with multi-vertical sections (news, politics, entertainment). It is a peer in audience segment and ad-supported political publishing model.
• Drudge Report: Drudge is a long-running conservative news aggregator and traffic driver. It is comparable to yourNEWS as a digital news destination oriented to a right-leaning audience that bundles national and viral stories rather than original local reporting.
• Patch.com: Patch is the canonical hyper-local U.S. news and advertising platform with thousands of local editions. It is the most direct functional peer to yourNEWS — same citizen/local reporter model, same local SMB ad monetization, and the same "local news in every city" positioning.
• The Daily Wire: The Daily Wire is a conservative digital media company combining news, opinion and long-form video (often featuring talent like Ben Shapiro and formerly Candace Owens and Jordan Peterson). Comparable to yourNEWS in ideological audience and heavy video/news content mix.

Broad incumbents

• Gannett / USA Today Network: Gannett operates the largest U.S. local newspaper network (USA Today and hundreds of community dailies/weeklies). It is a broad incumbent in the same local news publishing category where yourNEWS competes for local advertising budgets.
