Media Production - Mount Airy, Maryland, United States
71 Republic was born out of the minds of three teens in the summer of 2016. Originally meant to be a news blog, the vision quickly changed, with plans to be a YouTube podcast. However, none of this was ever realized, as soon after the 2016 Presidential Election, interest in the idea faded.In early 2017, however, one of the original three teens (Mason Mohon) decided to revive the project. Mason reached out to Matthew Geiger, who was one of the original two founders and brought him back on board. With the two original founders back together, they were ready to roll. This time, however, the idea was to create a news site.From January to May, the two would have conference calls every Tuesday and Thursday, for two hours each, meticulously plotting the site's creation. In addition, the team raised over 500 dollars to pay for the start-up costs.As time went on, the vision broadened, and the plan was for 71 Republic to be more than just a website, but a company.Mason and Matthew, using the money previously raised, designed the site. In addition, they invited three prevalent politicians to participate in a live stream video on June 10th, 2017, that would signify the site's launch.After the website was up and running, the next item on the list was to register it as a company. So, on July 19th, 2017, 71 Republic was filed as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under Maryland Corporate Law.Today, 71 Republic employs nearly 40 people. The company has writers from over a dozen states and eight countries, each with a burning passion to share their opinion with the world, as well as to provide hard-hitting news directly to your phone or computer.
