Local publishing, verified by the people who were there.

When I was a kid, my dad framed a story from The Gazette about my first home run. A local reporter had been at the game, wrote it up, and printed it. That clipping still hangs on a wall.

Years later, I went looking for the local news that gave me that moment — and it was gone. The Gazette had stopped covering local sports. No one was there to write up the game, the council vote, the school play. Our town had gone quiet. No kid was getting their home run in the paper anymore.

That felt wrong. But I didn't just want to bring the old newspaper back — I wanted to make it better. What if a story wasn't one reporter's single view, but something the whole community could build together — like building blocks, each person adding the piece they saw? And what if AI could take all those firsthand accounts and organize them into one clear, accurate story that actually flows?

That's Gazetz. Local news is the foundation — but the same engine lets anyone publish a church bulletin, a school newspaper, a magazine, or a collaborative scientific journal. A one-stop shop for the things communities used to print, rebuilt for the people who were actually there.
