In an era of the internet where blogs were ascendant, Facebook was still a private company and, most people browsed the web on a desktop computer, it was relatively uncommon for a community to have an online-only news source of any kind.

Once upon a time the only way to advertise on ARLnow was by booking ads, posts or blasts with an account rep.
Lene and Kim are great and the advertising options in our Media Kit are really effective, so most people were happy. But it left out some potential advertisers.
If you wanted to publish a post on the site today or if your budget was more Nationals-regular-season than Commanders-playoff-game, you were out of luck. And that didn’t seem right.
So ARLnow and our sister sites launched the Content Hub, a way to submit paid promotions quickly and inexpensively. Now mom-and-pop shops and promotional procrastinators can market their local stuff in 5 minutes for less than the cost of a pair of cheap seats at the ballpark.
Among the options: Announcements. This sponsored content option appears all over, including on our homepage, below articles and in our email newsletters. And it’s only $99 on ARLnow.
As a bonus, thanks to some new AI tech most announcements will get published instantly, including on nights and weekends, unless you opt to schedule it for later.
Place an announcement today and let the community know what’s new with your organization. Announcements can also be used to herald special occasions, find a lost pet, or get the word out about a garage sale, among other things.
