About us
Local media digital experts to help you get things done.
Digital On-Demand Services (DODS) provides fractional services to help local media companies solve digital challenges. Our hands-on support helps publishers tackle tech projects, digital strategy, and implementation needs.
DODS is part of the News Media Help Desk, a joint initiative from the Local Media Consortium (LMC) and the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI), launched with support from a $2.5 million Knight Foundation grant. By leveraging each organization’s strengths, LMC’s expertise in digital business and RJI’s content creation and curation skills, this partnership equips news organizations with the tools necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing digital environment. LMC launched DODS in 2022 thanks to an initial investment from Google News Initiative.
We are local media professionals and our customers are news media companies that operate newspaper, television, radio, and digital-only news outlets across the U.S. and Canada. We understand publishers’ needs and can provide tailored solutions that are right for you.​
