STRINGR is one of the only truly impactful newsroom innovations I have encountered in years. This service provides coverage in your market and around the nation at a fraction of the cost of traditional stringers and, if you don't like the result, you don't pay for it. There are a growing number of imitators in the marketplace, but no one has developed the backend the way they have nor do they have the coverage or the customer service.
