In this episode, Rebecca talks with Johnny Bassett of Plucky Wire about a new approach to story sharing that’s helping newsrooms collaborate more efficiently. Johnny explains how the platform grew out of the Granite State News Collaborative in New Hampshire, where the challenge of sharing stories across outlets exposed the limits of email, Google Drive, and other tools.
They discuss how Plucky Wire simplifies the process by creating a centralized system for sharing stories, photos, and other content—while also providing built-in analytics to track what’s used and where. Johnny also shares how the platform has expanded to hundreds of outlets nationwide, the importance of identifying “news holes” that need to be filled, and how collaboration can save time and strengthen local journalism. The conversation explores future possibilities as well, including new tools for monetization, photo sharing, and supporting small newsrooms with limited resources.
