Basikly is developed by the Print Innovation team within Advance Local, a local news division of Advance, founded by Sam Newhouse in 1922.

Our deep history in print and technology

Advance Local newspapers benefit from hundreds of years of combined history, and our local news sites have spent decades refining the latest advances in technology solutions.

Our newspapers are some of the longest-running and most valued in the country. Be it Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer (established 1842), The Staten Island Advance (1886), The Oregonian (1850), Advance Local papers have set standards for high quality print journalism. Starting around 30 years ago, those newspapers and more served as the foundations for a collection of local news websites that reach millions of readers daily.

Our Print Innovation team understands the exacting needs and tight schedules of news publication, because we have decades of experience optimizing it from all sides. We have used all that knowledge to build the most streamlined, efficient, and reliable tool for building layouts quickly and flawlessly.

Advance Local benefits from the strength and partnerships of its parent company, Advance, one of the largest media companies in the country. Advance fosters growth and innovation across a diversified portfolio of media, entertainment, communications, technology, and education including Condé Nast, American City Business Journals, Warner Bros./Discovery, and Reddit.
