News from the people who are actually there.
StreetDesk is a local news platform built around trust, verification, and community. Report what you see, verify what others share, and follow news that matters near you.
Built for neighborhoods, not national feeds. No algorithms pushing outrage. Just local truth.
How it works
Three simple actions that make local news more reliable than scrolling through scattered posts.
Report what you see
Go live or upload a video. Tag a category and a location. Your report shows up for people nearby.
Verify what others share
Use community signals: “I witnessed this,” “Verified,” “Needs more info,” or “False.” People near the event carry more weight.
Earn credibility
Accurate reporting, verified stories, and community ratings build your reputation. Trusted users become local anchors.
Your feed is grounded in place.
Choose a radius — 5, 10, 25, or 50 miles — and see only what’s happening nearby. Tap the map to explore reports around you.
- Distance-weighted verification: nearby users matter more.
- Live map of weather, traffic, and safety reports.
- No national noise. Only what affects your community.
Not just likes. Real signals.
Instead of an upvote, StreetDesk uses signals that help people judge what happened: “I witnessed this,” “Verified,” “Needs more info,” or “False.”
You were physically present.
You have evidence or strong knowledge.
Unclear or missing key details.
Incorrect or misleading.
Report anything local
From emergencies to community events, StreetDesk covers the stories national outlets miss.
Real-time reports when it matters most.
Instantly report hail, tornadoes, flooding, road closures, power outages, and wildfires. These reports appear on a live map so your neighbors can stay safe.
