ScoopFire was an online newspaper that debuted with a soft launch on Aug. 31, 2009. ScoopFire started in Andover, Kansas with the goal of providing "hyperlocal" news and content, meaning it focuses on that town and that town only. It had the same coverage priorities as a local newspaper - education, business, sports, community profiles, police reports, and so on - with a website that is interactive with the reader.
Shortly after launching, ScoopFire ran a seven-part series celebrating the 25th anniversary of Andover High School's 1984 state football championship. Other highlights in ScoopFire's short history include its coverage of Andover's controversial trash and recycling ordinance, the budget crisis and teacher layoffs facing Andover public schools and a series called "Keeping Business Local."
ScoopFire was known for directly downloading PDFs of fliers that promoted Andover non-profit organizations and community events for its readers. Every Monday, it directly downloaded a PDF of Andover's weekly police report as a community service.
