If you’ve gotten used to the current design of the ARLnow website over the past 5+ years, get ready for an adjustment.
A new version of the site will be rolling out soon, perhaps as soon as early Monday morning. Developed by news publisher-focused WordPress agency The Code Company, the site represents a complete rebuild of our current codebase, which dates back to the early 2010s.
ARLnow’s Instagram account recently received an upgrade.
The account now publishes most if not all ARLnow headlines on a daily basis, with two posts per evening: one of the most-read article of the day, and another with a carousel of our other stories.
ARLnow’s now-former Assistant Managing Editor Jo DeVoe worked her last day here last week.
Throughout her nearly four year tenure here, Jo published nearly 1,500 articles, edited many others, and made periodic appearances on the Fox 5 “DMV Zone” newscast.
You will be seeing three new bylines on ARLnow stories in the coming days.
Three journalists joined the site this week, two in a full-time capacity and another as an intern.
ARLnow has a new neighbor in the ol’ datacenter today.
The MoCoShow — the homegrown (and very popular) local news site for Montgomery County, Maryland — has partnered with Local News Now, the company that publishes ARLnow, ALXnow and FFXnow.
ARLnow’s flagship Afternoon Update email newsletter gives you links to all of the local headlines of the day — up until 4 p.m., at least.
But what if you wanted a quicker way to breeze through local news stories for the previous day?
Arlingtonians have a new destination for Arlington and ARLnow merch.
Today ARLnow is officially launching our new online store. Whereas we used to only sell items on Amazon — the best-selling Gondola Now shirt for instance — now we have our own storefront for a wider variety of items, designs and colors.
ARLnow has added to its full-time news staff.
James Jarvis, previously of InsideNoVa and FauquierNow, has joined as assistant editor, becoming the tenth full-time employee of Ballston-based Local News Now, the publisher of ARLnow.
If you’re not already checking out events and announcements on ARLnow, you’re missing out.
Community submissions to both the event calendar and the announcement section have ramped up significantly this spring. It’s now an even better way to discover happenings and offerings around Arlington.
For the past few weeks, ARLnow has been experimenting with an automated email newsletter that’s written almost entirely by AI.
The “ARLnow AM” newsletter sends at 8 a.m. each weekday morning and summarizes that day’s Morning Notes and the past day’s local news articles.
Local companies and community organizations share a challenge: figuring out how to get the word out quickly and cost effectively.
Good news: ARLnow has you covered.
