What is Zenger?<\/strong>
Zenger is the world\u2019s first digitally native wire service. Owned and operated by journalists.
Zenger aims to:
\u2022 Restore trust in news, and to reward journalists and news outlets in a new way
for producing stories that inform, entertain, and hold leaders and institutions
accountable.
\u2022 Zenger\u2019s model is to reward its open network of journalists by sharing
advertising revenue with the people who create the content.
\u2022 We pay quickly and electronically. No more paper checks from out-of-state
banks, months after you publish.
\u2022 Zenger provides wire stories to news outlets, for low or no up-front cost, and
shares advertising revenue with them. Instead of subtracting from their bottom
line and deepening a struggling industry\u2019s challenges, Zenger adds to their top
line.<\/p>

Zenger is dedicated to bringing high-quality news content to overlooked communities and
promoting the broadest possible variety of voices and subjects.
