What Masthead Covers

City Hall, On the Record

Every council meeting. Every planning commission hearing. Every school board session. Masthead reads the agendas, watches the proceedings, and writes stories about decisions that affect your property taxes, zoning, schools, and roads.

Public Records, Decoded

Court filings. Building permits. Police blotters. Budget documents. The raw material of local accountability, automatically processed and reported in plain language. No FOIA request required.

I

Listens

Masthead connects to your town's public data feeds: meeting minutes, agendas, court records, permit filings, public notices. Always monitoring. Never sleeps.

II

Writes

AI reporters turn raw civic data into clear, factual stories. Every article cites its sources. Every claim traces back to a public document.

III

Delivers

Your community receives a daily or weekly newsletter. Searchable archive. No paywall. Local news as a public good, running on a fraction of a traditional newsroom's cost.

"Democracy dies in darkness. But it doesn't have to. Not when AI can keep the lights on in every town hall, every courthouse, every school board meeting across America."
