Radio Free Hub City Announces Hyper-Local News Initiative

HAGERSTOWN, MD - Radio Free Hub City is excited to announce the launch of its new hyper-local news portal initiative, starting with the towns of Smithsburg and Sharpsburg, Maryland. These new portals offer free, accessible, and town-specific reporting - part of the outlet's ongoing commitment to provide community-focused journalism that puts local voices and issues front and center.

Residents can now access comprehensive local coverage at:

🔹 https://radiofreehubcity.com/smithsburg/

🔹 https://radiofreehubcity.com/sharpsburg/

This initiative is just the beginning. Radio Free Hub City plans to expand hyper-local coverage to more small towns across Washington County, Maryland, and surrounding regions, addressing the growing news desert in rural and underserved communities.

"Our mission is to restore meaningful coverage to places that have been ignored, underserved, or locked behind paywalls by mainstream media," said Ken Buckler, President of Radio Free Hub City. "These new portals ensure that local government, community events, and town-specific issues are covered with the depth and respect they deserve - and they're available to everyone, free of charge."

In addition to local portals, readers can easily explore statewide and national news via the main site, creating a seamless experience that keeps residents informed at every level - from their own backyard to Capitol Hill.

True to its core philosophy, Radio Free Hub City proudly maintains a strict 'no paywalls' policy. All news content remains completely free and publicly accessible, removing financial barriers to journalism and promoting equitable access to information for everyone, regardless of income or background.

Radio Free Hub City encourages residents, civic groups, and local officials to share news tips and community updates as the initiative expands. The newsroom believes in journalism as a public service and remains committed to community-driven storytelling.
