Public Notice Portal

Public Notice Portal (PNP) is an initiative from the local news media sector to further promote public notices to communities and enhance local democracy by harnessing the sector's massive online audiences.

The Portal is backed by publishers in membership of the News Media Association, and developed by Reach plc. The project was partly funded by the Google News Initiative.

My Role

I began my journey at Reach PLC by working on PNP for 18 months, where I helped launch it as a greenfield project and grow it to its first million visitors.
