About Heartland Newsfeed

Heartland Newsfeed features hard-hitting investigative reporting, in-depth political coverage, timely behind-the-scenes sports analysis, and insightful entertainment and cultural coverage.

Our news organization strives to maintain a commitment to transparency and deliver groundbreaking news that no local or mainstream platform provides.

We also strive to have a diverse staff, which we hope to see to full fruition by 2030.

Heartland Newsfeed is working on expanding its bureaus with the following digital departments which include seven former print and/or digital newspapers:

Arena SportsNet ChicagoChampaign-Urbana CourierThe Daily American News
Illinois IntelligencerISNet AmericaMetro-East Journal
Murphysboro AmericanThe Illinois ReportSideline Sports Media

We are looking to acquire digital media outlets as time passes.
