InPress

"Why are using news to inform the matching?" We get this question sometimes. In short, it works. It turns out that when people know the deep interests they share with someone before even talking to them, conversations are easier to start, and connections are quicker to form. But don't take it from us... Accountable #journalism that informs and connects. That's #InPress

Hottest item an #ONA24!? We'll take that ?? Thank you to the entire Online News Association community for the support and excitement around InPress. We can't wait to continue making media literacy sexy alongside these stellar journalists.

Going into the journalism tech conference #ONA24, I wasn't sure what to expect. How would a conference full of some of the world's most influential outlets and journalists feel about our disruptive, cheeky news-based dating and friends app InPress? Would they be into it...or would it be met mostly with skepticism? I'm happy to report that InPress was a widely-embraced hit at ONA. It doesn't feel like an understatement to say that someone new was at our booth nearly every minute of every day. The support, encouragement, and intrigue from attendees have been incredibly humbling these past few days. InPress will definitely be back at the Online News Association's conference next year, and I look forward to continue making facts-based journalism a societal force for human connection with this community. Until then, stay up to date ? ?? ?? A special shoutout to some of the new and old friends I had the pleasure of connecting with here - Erin Carson, Laura Duclos, Sindy Nanclares, Jon Glass, Joel Kaplan, Matt Veto, Michael Shapiro, Brett Farmiloe, sherrie ann de leon, Hanaa' Tameez, Hanaa Rifaey, , Rosental Alves, and Yumi Wilson.

Going to #ONA24? Come say hi at our InPress booth in the Startup Alley! We’ll have hats, totes, but most importantly…an event-exclusive access code so that ONA attendees can get instant access to InPress, even in Atlanta! ??

"InPress is so D.C.-coded" - a quote we hear often, and we love it! It's amazing to see the District adopt InPress so quickly ? ?? ??. Not quite sure what this news-way to connect is, yet? Check out this piece by Mimi Montgomery at Axios! https://lnkd.in/eprGfrjy

Thank you to the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard for covering InPress' launch! Our mission is to 'establish an information ecosystem where intellect and love fuel each other's growth', so when other journalists can envision the positive implications that InPress will have on the journalism industry, it makes achieving that mission all the more real. https://lnkd.in/e4jyHvhH
