Welcome
Inbox gives businesses, PR reps, and community members one clear way to reach local newsrooms, and turns the daily flood of community submissions into structured material newsrooms can search, use, and track.
This site contains all the current documentation for Inbox. Pick the task you're trying to do. If you can't find an answer here, email us at support@pluckyworks.org.
A Note About Early Access
Inbox is in early access with pilot newsrooms, and it is free to use while early access lasts: no payments are required from submitters or newsrooms. We plan to enable payments once we've fine-tuned the platform and confirmed with newsrooms exactly how they want to offer this service to their communities. In the meantime, we really appreciate your help improving Inbox.
Want to join the pilot?
We are working closely with several newsrooms around the country to get the tools ready for open release. We have opened spots for an additional two or three small- and medium-sized newsrooms in the United States to join the pilot. If your newsroom is interested, email johnny@pluckyworks.org.
