Flooded with email newsletters? Can’t stand Elon? Threads too boring? Facebook only surfacing random videos?
If you answered yes to all of those things, here’s some good news: there’s a brand new way to stay on top of everything Arlington.

ARLnow’s parent company has acquired the GazetteLeader amid an expansion of local news coverage.
Arlington-based Local News Now acquired the newspaper’s assets, including its archives, from Arizona-based O’Rourke Media Group, which operates 50 local publications in more than three dozen markets across the U.S.

Upon receiving court approval, ARLnow plans to start publishing legal notices.
This page will compile recently published legal notices.
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.
Over the past decade and a half, ARLnow has occasionally covered news of neighboring Falls Church that is of potential interest to our Arlington readers.
Now we’re making it official — and more frequent.
Most subscribers to the ARLnow Afternoon Update newsletter seem happy with the recent updates.
But if you’re among those who don’t love change or who greatly valued the article blurbs, you can now go back to the old format.
ARLnow is discontinuing its AI-generated morning newsletter, though we’re not ruling out an eventual return.
We announced the email just over a year ago, with the twin goals of testing artificial intelligence capabilities and serving readers who wanted a morning email with more of a “voice.”

ARLnow is establishing its first news beat with the addition of two new editorial staffers.
ARLnow and its sister sites, ALXnow and FFXnow, will all be served by the new breaking news, public safety and local business beat. The beat will allow our newsroom to build more subject matter expertise while better serving readers and making our editorial operation more resilient.

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.
