The Herald Newsroom Is a Press Wire the Van Kush Family Owns Outright
An originating wire with outbound RSS/JSON feeds and structured NewsArticle data — the EIN-Presswire replacement nobody can deactivate.
DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today launched the Herald Newsroom at https://news.soapbox.community, the project’s own originating press wire — a wire the family owns, that no third party can deactivate.
The Newsroom publishes categorized stories with outbound RSS and JSON feeds and structured NewsArticle metadata, so the family’s announcements are machine-readable and syndicatable from day one. It is deliberately the replacement for renting a commercial wire such as EIN-Presswire: the distribution channel itself is owned, not leased.
It is read-only and holds no key. All of its logic lives in the project’s own newsroom module, so the wire is native infrastructure consistent with the family’s no-dependency stance — the newsroom feeds the ecosystem’s media out to others rather than depending on an outside platform.
The Newsroom works hand in hand with the Herald growth dashboard at https://herald.soapbox.community and distributes news about the whole network — the chain at https://melek.salon, the AI witness at https://hathor.live, and the SoapBox verticals at https://soapbox.community.
