# Ground Level News

> Ground Level News (https://groundlevelnews.com) is a free, fast U.S. and local news front page for the Colorado River region (Bullhead City, Laughlin, Mohave Valley, Clark County, Mesquite, Boulder City). It aggregates headlines from public RSS feeds every ~15 minutes, summarizing and linking each story to its original publisher, and publishes local press releases written in Markdown.

Every HTML article has a Markdown twin: append `.md` to the path without the trailing slash (e.g. `/press-releases/<slug>.md`, `/story/<slug>.md`). Aggregated story pages contain short summaries only; rights belong to the original publishers. Images carry credit and license lines; "File photo" and "Illustration" images do not depict the actual event.
