Your neighbourhood's stories deserve to be told
Local news, with the rigour it deserves.
What makes Suru different
Built for quality journalism, not an algorithm
Capture in the field
Open Suru, hit record, talk through what you're seeing. Add photos and video. Geo-tag stays attached automatically. No laptop required.
Verified before you publish
Every draft runs through a journalism check — sourcing, neutrality, verifiable facts. AI assistance is disclosed on the page. No exceptions.
Local first, always
Each publication claims a beat. Readers find stories on a map of their neighbourhood. No algorithm, no newsfeed — just what's happening near them.
The journalism check other platforms don't have.
Before any story publishes, Suru's AI audits it on sourcing, neutrality, and verifiability — and shows you exactly where it found problems. You decide what to fix. Every decision is logged. You own the editorial call.
Built for the solo reporter.
You cover a borough, a city, or a neighbourhood. You have no dev team, no editorial support, and no time to become a digital marketing expert. Suru handles everything else.
Application-only at launch. We're curating founding publishers who are serious about local journalism. If that's you — apply.
Get Started FreeThe hyperlocal founder
Left a regional paper to start their own coverage of the borough they grew up in. Needs a platform that matches their editorial standards.
The neighbourhood insider
Attends every council meeting, knows every local business owner. Has the stories but not the tools. Suru is the missing piece.
The local media builder
Running a small editorial team across a city. Wants subscriber revenue, AI efficiency, and a credibility framework readers can trust.
