About Us

Your city has stories worth telling, hidden gems worth visiting, and events worth leaving the house for. We’re here to shine a light on each of them, minus the paywalls and in-your-face ads.

Why we exist

Local media is broken

Traditional newspapers are disappearing, and social media is noisy and unreliable.

BaseLocal was created to fix that. We deliver useful, friendly, twice-weekly emails to keep locals plugged in—what to do, what to know, and what’s worth your time.
