After the discontinuation of Sociaal Tiel my grandfather sat together with other enthusiasts and founded not-for-profit news website de Tielenaar. The fully responsive Drupal website has morphed into a serious blog with content featuring local politics, coverage of regional festivals and more.

The website is popular in the city and gets regular traffic from inhabitants, Google and other regional media. The community around it actively engages in comment threads and feedback about the website is regularly provided through the contact form.
