Real-World Impacts

Legend
Real World Impact
Self reported impact on the communities the newsroom serves.

Prior to County 10's launch, no news source attempted to cover ALL of our extreme rural county in Wyoming. We have thousands of square miles, 7 school districts, multiple small municipalities, an Indian Reservation, etc. and each small population center is slightly demographically and culturally different. However, they are all economically reliant on each other for consumers and services - we need each other. No one covered the County like that until County 10. Now our readers know what's happening around them, they report feeling more united and more prepared to address our community issues together instead of separately. We are more prepared to face the future because we are connected through a hyper-local news source.
