About PorchBuzz

PorchBuzz is an independent local-news publication operated by Lone Crest Media. Publisher: Jay (Preet Mavi). We cover Marion and Harrisburg, Illinois, and Claremont, New Hampshire.

Our purpose

We turn public notices, meeting records and credited local reporting into readable explanations: what changed, what has not been decided, and where residents can check the details. We are not a city government or affiliated with the organizations we cover.

How this site is produced

Our articles are AI-assisted summaries and explainers based on the sources listed on each page. They are not presented as eyewitness reporting or original interviews. Linked sources let readers check the underlying information. We do not claim to maintain a newsroom in these towns.

The publisher operates remotely. Coverage of a community does not mean we live there. Publication dates identify when our article appeared, not necessarily when the event occurred.

Accountability

Read our editorial standards, corrections policy and contact page. Advertising, when enabled, will be distinguished from editorial coverage; payment does not determine news conclusions.
