About Fideri News Network

Broad + Liberty has united with Access Network in a strategic acquisition, forming one of Pennsylvania and the Jersey Shore’s largest native digital media audiences, Fideri News Network.

Together, we’ve built a cutting-edge state and local multimedia company that delivers award-winning journalism, balanced political coverage, local news, sports, podcasts, digital content, radio, e-commerce, and event ticketing—all under one mission.

Our goal is simple yet urgent: revitalize local media with editorial excellence, business innovation, and scalable infrastructure in one of the nation’s most historically significant—and fiercely contested—media landscapes.

Why Fideri

Across the nation, local journalism is disappearing. Legacy newsrooms are retreating, leaving Pennsylvania and New Jersey communities without the coverage they need. But a free and open society depends on local voices—those who understand the stakes of a school board vote, a county budget, or a contested judicial race.

That’s why Fideri delivers more than headlines. Through WBCB Sports and OnPattison.com, we bring coverage fans already trust—from Friday night high school matchups to sharp, engaging commentary on the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers. With podcasts, short-form video, broadcast radio, and more across sports, culture, local news, and politics, Fideri is building a dynamic multimedia ecosystem that meets people where they are.

Our Mission

Principled local journalism is both a mirror and a compass. It reflects the lived experiences of our communities while guiding public discourse with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to truth over narrative.

Fideri News Network champions the community, defends the taxpayer, encourages growth, supports civic responsibility, and believes we are at our best when we advocate for the ideals that fulfill the uniquely American promise of opportunity for all.

Fideri was named from the Latin root fideri—meaning “to trust” or “to be faithful.” Trust is not given—it is earned, story by story—through diligence, fairness, and the courage to speak when silence is more convenient. In bearing that name, Fideri affirms its role not only as a reporter of news, but as a steward of the public good.

Beyond Journalism

Fideri isn’t just a news network—it’s a community hub. We offer integrated services that strengthen local ties and support economic growth:

  • Event Ticketing & Registration for festivals, attractions, and fundraisers
  • E-Commerce for local products and small business affiliates
  • Advertising & Sponsorships, including newsletters, native content, programmatic display, and paid content programs

A New Model for Local Media

This merger is more than growth—it’s a blueprint for the future. Our network model shows that local news can be principled and self-sufficient through smart governance, market alignment, and community-centered innovation.

Fideri will continue expanding into underserved markets, restoring vital local coverage, supporting economic development, and connecting communities through journalism and commerce.
