Yellr

About Yellr

WXXI Public Radio has partnered with HackHackers Rochester to develop Yellr, a new Citizen Journalism mobile app designed to widen audience engagement, especially among younger, technologically-driven and under-represented community members.

Join The Conversation

The platform – in English and Spanish - enables broad participation from community members in sharing and posting news and other community related information and events. The project was seeded by a grant funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, administered by the Institute for Nonprofit News.

Reporting, Re-imagined

Develop a community of sources

Easily deploy the Yellr app and create assignments to involve your viewers and readers in the gathering of critical news information

Target your users

Utilize Yellr's geolocation technology to target specific areas for assignments and make sure your information being submitted is relevant.

Anonymity prioritized

Keep your sources information safe by never being able to access it without explicit permission.

Free as in Freedom

All of Yellr's software is licensed under Free and Open licenses and is powered by a community of dedicated volunteers who care about what you do.
