Newsroom Operations
Heartland Newsfeed
Heartland Newsfeed is the flagship that started it all.
Predating our collective media operations by a full four years, Heartland Newsfeed was established on New Year's Eve 2016.
It serves as home base for all news content, as well as featured content from its sister radio stations and podcasts.
Our Coverage Area
Initially covering news across Central Illinois, Heartland Newsfeed's mission expanded in 2021 to parts of Southern Illinois following the closure of many newspapers. In some of those counties, the closure of their local newspaper ended up creating news deserts.
In 2022, news coverage was expanded to Eastern Missouri, including the greater majority of the Mississippi River Valley.
A full listing of all counties covered by Heartland Newsfeed in Illinois and Missouri is available here.
Companywide, these are our primary target markets.
