ShoutAbout: our tool for news sites
Many media sites are losing trust, readers and revenue. In this volatile climate, it's been harder to stay true to the core mission of journalism: to inform, encourage active debate, and at best, inspire engagement with the same events that are being covered.
While comment sections often encourage venting, ShoutAbout is a bipartisan, editorially independent engagement tool that focuses on directing readers to learn more or take meaningful action in their communities. Similar to the features at this site, any reader may add, vet or vote up links that give context to the news.
To ensure quality content, approved organizations in our system like Journalist's Resource at Harvard and the United Nations Foundation are also able to promote their relevant links to learn more and take action.
ShoutAbout sets content apart, encourages sharing of user-submitted links that are then bundled with news coverage, and drives readers to a customized "Sponsored" link (sign up, join an email list, etc.) while they are thinking about the civic value of the news.

Features for non-profits and campaigns
ShoutAbout partners with news sites to give organizations the opportunity to promote their links at the bottom of relevant news and commentary. ShoutAbout is loaded by people reading about, learning about and thinking about the issues that non-profits and political campaigns work on every day.
Do you work with a qualified organization? Sign up for a free account so you can:
- Receive real-time, hourly or daily email alerts when ShoutAbout is added to articles that match specific keywords you add to your profile;
- Click through these emails to add a link and description at our site in less time than it takes to post a tweet;
- Track clicks via your online profile at ShoutAbout.org or via an engagement report sent to you by email at the end of each week.
ShoutAbout can be managed by staff or volunteers. Email alerts can be customized to specific news sites so you can focus on local coverage, if you'd like. You can also subscribe to daily digests, which offer a range of links that are especially useful for universities and think tanks interested in diverse subjects.
Contact our team if you have questions or ideas on how to make ShoutAbout even more valuable for your work.
