Coral Platform Mission

The Coral Platform is a community platform where registered community members can talk with each other and with publishers, in order to build loyalty, improve journalism, and grow audience. We want to help journalists get closer to the communities they serve by using the Coral Platform as a key part of their audience strategy. Because journalism needs everyone.
