# Unified Community News Outlets 'Indiegraf' Pools News Outlets to Amplify Each Member By Colin Smith | Published 2022-06-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indiegraf References: [indiegraf](https://indiegraf.com/#indie-news) Indiegraf is an online community-oriented news platform that is comprised of hundreds of local news outlets and sources. The platform aims to signal-boost local news in order to both give voices to smaller journalists while providing a diverse range of opinions. This system prevents falling into a single bias as a platform, which is one of the common reasons that contribute to distrust in a publication. The organizational layout of Indiegraf allows it to provide enriching growth opportunities for smaller publications and writers that have little access to resources. This is because the platform pools the resources from its members in order to share these resources across its range of publishers from entry-level independent journalists to experienced publication entrepreneurs.
