Follow ARLnow on Instagram, Threads or the fediverse

The best way to keep up to date with ARLnow is by subscribing to our email newsletter.

But if you’re a fan of algorithmic feeds and endless scrolling, we’ve upgraded two major options over the past few months.

You can now see all of our local headlines every evening via Instagram. And our presence on IG’s companion text-based network, Threads, now posts stories more speedily.

Go ahead and give us a follow if you use either regularly. You can also now follow us in the fediverse via @[email protected], if you’re into that sort of thing.

For real-time headlines and breaking news, our longtime Twitter/X account is probably still the way to go. Unfortunately, while Threads may be Twitter-like, its algorithm seems to frown upon news and local-specific content, making the timely unearthing of breaking ARLnow headlines very hit or miss.
