Local & National News | September 24, 2025
Discover how NewsSTAND is transforming Small Town America by uniting locals and boosting businesses, schools, and nonprofits to thrive.

Dear Community Leaders,

There is something extraordinary happening in Small Town America, a movement fueled by a shared belief that every community—no matter its size—deserves the tools and support to flourish. At JustMy, we are proud to be part of this movement, working to amplify America by empowering local businesses, schools, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations through innovative digital solutions.

Our flagship service, NewsSTAND: Civic & Community Edition, is designed precisely to meet the needs of towns and cities that may not have the resources or infrastructure of larger metropolitan areas. NewsSTAND provides a vibrant, engaging digital news platform where communities can share their stories, celebrate milestones, and promote local events. It creates a single, easy-to-access hub that connects residents with the positive happenings around them, shining a bright light on the invaluable work and spirit that define Small Town America.

From weddings and graduations to grand openings and community celebrations, NewsSTAND lets everyone play a role in telling the story of their town. Moreover, it serves as a powerful amplifier for local businesses and nonprofits, helping them reach new audiences, build loyalty, and grow sustainably. In our hometown of Memphis, we’ve supported local nonprofits in raising over $5 million through storytelling, engagement, and community connection. This is the kind of impact we want to replicate in communities across the nation.

But we can’t do it alone. This is a call to leadership—from city officials and chambers of commerce to tourism departments and civic organizations—to join hands with us in this mission. Together, we can ensure every town, big or small, has access to the tools that drive economic vitality and deepen community pride.

Our goal is ambitious but grounded in the belief that when communities are equipped and supported, they thrive. We envision a future where 100 towns are connected through NewsSTAND by early next year, forming a network of engaged, empowered communities sharing in each other’s successes and opportunities.

We invite you to be part of this journey to amplify your city’s voice, support your local economy, and celebrate the unique story that only your community can tell. Together, let’s build the future of Small Town America—one story at a time.

Sincerely,

JR Robinson
CEO/Co-Founder, JustMy
