NewsBlaze is now an American company, and of course we are still news for Americans.
At NewsBlaze we strive to provide useful news and information, and the editors work hard to maintain high editorial standards. We proofread and edit every story for spelling, grammar, format and meaning.
If you see a problem, we’d love to hear about it, so we can make corrections. Send us an email or call us on the phone. If you phone, please check the difference between our timezones, because we might be sleeping when you’re awake.
You can also connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a few other social media sites.
While head office is Utah, most of our news is meant for U.S. readers, just as it was when we lived in Australia.
