We’re a small, independent news outlet that delivers transparent coverage of events in & around Wichita. Originally known as Wichita News Network, we were founded in 2022 out of frustration with local mainstream media constantly overlooking crimes we knew were happening- things we believed the public should know about.
• 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺
— This page is managed by a few individuals who share updates du
ring their free time. Since we’re not a full-scale news organization with a dedicated reporting staff, our busy schedules sometimes prevent us from posting regularly.
• 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
— If you send us info, photos, or videos, rest assured that nothing will be shared without your permission. If you allow us to post it, your identity will remain confidential unless you request credit.
• 𝗡𝗼 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀
— We do NOT cover animal abuse cases. For the sake of personal mental well-being, we cannot take on cases involving animal abuse, including investigations or reporting. Thank you for understanding.
• 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴
— We’re entirely self-funded, with no financial backing from anyone. Everything we use to keep you informed- equipment, software, scanner audio subscriptions, recordings, court documents, & more- comes out of our own pockets. If you would like to donate, you can do so here:

If you see posts like :
💥 (time) ← Means it was heard on either the Police, Fire, or EMS scanner.
• We report it as we hear it.
• Information coming from the scanner is fluid, & subject to change. Situations/incidents evolve fast! & because we do listen to multiple channels at once, sometimes we don't hear every update. If you have additional information about what we're posting, feel free to comment & share that info.
• Specific information is left out for privacy/safety reasons. (Names, house numbers, etc)
• We don't post every single incident that is reported.
