Skip the algorithms, get ARLnow’s headlines directly in your inbox

It’s no secret that social networks don’t like people clicking links.

The networks want people to stay on their platforms rather than clicking through to news articles and other external content. That is why X (formerly Twitter) is over-indexing on video and Facebook’s referrals to news sites are down.

The algorithms might not want to show you everything that’s going on in Arlington, but there’s a fix for that: signing up for ARLnow’s free email newsletter.

Each day we’ll bring you the local headlines you need to know. And you’ll get breaking news alerts on occasions when truly big local news breaks (though you can turn these off).
