Your Zip Here

Run the Gazette in your zip.

Every zip code deserves its own paper. Ours started in the 209 — nine towns, one sheet. The next step is the one you're thinking about: a Gazette for your zip, run by somebody who actually lives there. We're working on making that happen.

Where this actually stands

We mean it when we say we're working on it — and we mean it when we say it's not ready. What we're still sorting out is the legal side:

  • Who can publish what under the paper's name — your zip's editor needs clear lines on libel, sourcing, and corrections before they get the keys.
  • How the desk reviews what runs — the same rule every section of this paper already lives by: reviewed before it prints, source named on the card.
  • Where the responsibility sits — who answers when a zip edition gets something wrong, and how a reader reaches that person.

So this page is not a product, not a franchise offer, and not a promise with a date on it. It's the list we call first when your zip's edition opens — and when the legalities land, the people on it get asked before anybody else.

The desk rule: if your zip isn't in the 209 yet, leaving your info is how it gets in line. If you'd rather just tell us your zip should exist, the form takes that too — the note box is optional.
First In Line

Leave your info

Name, email, and the zip you want a paper for. One message when your zip's edition opens, maybe one question from the desk while we figure this out. That's it.

Leaving your info puts a row in the private EAS intake and pings the desk — nothing sold, nothing spammed, no list that ever leaves the building. This is interest collection while the legal side gets sorted, not an offer of a franchise, license, or business opportunity. When the rules are written and your zip's edition is real, you'll hear about it first because you're on this page's list. Questions in the meantime: jadec@epicappsolutions.com.
