One Ohio. Every Story.
NewsForce247 is Ohio’s statewide digital news outlet. We publish fresh Ohio news around the clock — four new stories every hour, 96 a day — covering all 88 Ohio counties, filed by region: Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest, plus statewide government, sports, and weather.
That means your business can be in front of Ohio readers in your county, your region, or the whole state — next to the local news they check every day. Below is everything we sell, in plain language, with the price on it. When you’re ready, one person handles your campaign from first call to monthly report: Jack Bennett, our Director of Partnerships.

The price starts from $4,322 for the term; the exact figure depends on the section chosen and is confirmed in writing before you commit to anything.
Add radio: NewsForce Radio mentions (AudiOH Media Group) can be added to any campaign — priced at signing from the current radio package (host-read endorsements at $75 each / $200 per week).
Our audience — and how we count it
We count our audience the plain way: from our own first-party server logs, recomputed regularly — not estimates, not modeled numbers.
- 640,000+ pageviews since October 18 (Cloudflare)
- 12,814 page views on our record day, November 2, 2026 (first-party server logs)
- 145,036 page views in the 18 days from October 19 to November 5, 2026 (first-party server logs)
Every figure we quote you — here, in our media kit, or in your monthly campaign report — comes from those same logs, with its date range attached.
