TAPinto Clark is a community-focused, digital news platform providing reliable and objective reporting for residents of Clark, New Jersey. Owned and operated by David and Nicole Brighouse, the site delivers comprehensive coverage of local government, schools, civic events, and the achievements of residents. The Brighouses, both longtime educators in the Rahway Public School District, view local journalism as a form of public service and a tool for fostering community engagement and healthy civic discourse.
David Brighouse, a social studies and journalism teacher, brings over a decade of experience overseeing student media and engaging young journalists. Nicole Brighouse, a dedicated community volunteer and long-time leader in local organizations, contributes her expertise in community engagement and organizational leadership. Together, they officially launched TAPinto Clark in January 2024 after acquiring the franchise, building on the work of previous owners.
The platform emphasizes trustworthy, non-partisan reporting while maintaining strong ties to the local community. Through their coverage and outreach, the Brighouses support civic participation, highlight local initiatives, and ensure residents are informed about the issues and events that impact daily life in Clark. TAPinto Clark also benefits from being part of the larger TAPinto network, combining local autonomy with shared digital resources.
