We're excited to announce that Mariana has joined the Newsmast Foundation team 🧡

If you've supported Newsmast since the beginning, you might recognise Mariana as one of the amazing team who helped us launch. Now, Mariana's management experience will help us better coordinate projects and support community initiatives.

We're delighted that Mariana has chosen us for the next step in her career and we can't wait to see how her experience helps us improve.

It's an honour to announce that @jaz has joined the Newsmast Foundation as Commercial Advisor 👏

Jaz has supported the Newsmast Foundation since we first joined the Social Web. He's one of a small handful who realised the vision of our charity and believed in it from the start.

We can't wait to see how his experience helps us shape the future of Newsmast as we deliver our Apps for Change programme and help more communities join the Social Web.

It's finally here! The new Newsmast Foundation website 🎉

Our new website focuses on our Apps for Change programme which is bringing real values-aligned organisations and groups to the Social Web.

It's a big change from our original website with an increased focus on actions and solutions to protect information sharing ecosystems on social media.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here at the Newsmast Foundation.

After visiting #FediMTL in Montréal last week, then going straight to Wales for the launch of the Tŵt app with @teamtoot , then to Copenhagen for Rebuild, whilst attending @fediforum online, you might think we're going to quiet down for the next couple of weeks 👀

Wrong!

We're still working hard to bring more people meaningful community on the Social Web ⚡️

Local community is essential.

At the Newsmast Foundation, we're working to support local communities by providing digital spaces for them to come together. Places they can organise, and inform as a collective.

The Community Power report by Local Trust amplifies our message, that by providing space to come together, communities can strengthen beyond their differences.

"In Europe and worldwide, people are recognising that news publishers, progressive content creators, non-profits and civic society rely on platforms that don’t share our values. Platforms which optimise algorithms for surveillance, outrage and profit."

Wondering what we're up to at the Newsmast Foundation? 🤔

📢 “What are Community Feeds? Why has my post been boosted?”

You make a post, add a hashtag, and it’s immediately boosted by one of our Community Feeds - plus you get a notification. What’s going on?

We’re Newsmast and we’re all about knowledge sharing. We’ve built topical Communities, spaces that anyone can dip in and out of to get involved in the things they care about. Communities combine and curate posts from all over the Fediverse into an easy to access single source.
