Partner with Worth Crossing

Be where people decide where to drive.

Worth Crossing is for people choosing what’s worth the trip across Kansas City this week. One partner a week sits beside that choice, clearly labeled.

What a partner gets

  • The Thursday email. One partner per issue: an image, about forty words and a link, placed after the second pick.
  • The issue page and every story page. One labeled placement each, for the week the issue leads the site.
  • Founding partners. A small number of businesses who join in the first issues, at founding rates, month to month.

What we promise, and what we don’t

The first issue is dated October 5, 2026. Before you commit, we’ll tell you the exact subscriber count. We report counts, never reader lists: opens of the issue carrying your placement and clicks on it, measured by Worth Crossing itself, with no outside ad trackers. What we promise is an issue edited to make people want to cross town, a placement designed with the same care as the stories, and a label that tells readers exactly what they’re looking at.

The rules we keep

Paid placements never buy coverage. An issue’s stories are chosen before any conversation about advertising in it, advertisers don’t see or approve stories, and every placement names who paid for it. Read how we choose.
