Hometown News is about recognizing all kinds of student achievements in a personalized way, not just dean's list and graduation.

The stories that might seem trivial to pitch (like student government, participating in an art show, making the varsity team) are all important achievements to individual students and their families. It's the small stories that create the social media engagement. Students share these smaller personalized stories with their friends and family across social media because it's a huge milestone in their life.
