About: SNO Sites was founded in 2008 and is based in Minnesota’s Twin Cities. The platform was originally built to serve student newsrooms and has grown to support more than 3,000 publications, including a growing number of community and local news organizations. SNO’s expansion into the community publishing space has been driven by publishers themselves — small, local newsrooms that discovered SNO and recognized the value of an affordable, fully managed platform with hands-on support.
