The main theme of ARLnow’s promotion of our email newsletter is that it allows you to get all of the headlines, without intermediation by algorithms.
Large online platforms like social networks and search engines are great, but they will generally only surface a fraction of the local stories you might be interested in reading, unless you actively seek them out. And many of us have settled into being more passive scrollers than active seekers when it comes to news.
That’s why ARLnow is considering investing in a smartphone app. Nearly 15 years after our founding, and well after the mobile revolution of the 2010s, may seem like an odd time to launch a new app. But the prospect of giving readers a convenient way to read our articles and get breaking news alerts — beyond email — is enticing.
What do you think? Should we launch an ARLnow smartphone app, and would you use it if we launch one?
