We’re always posting news to our website, PotomacLocalNews.com where, throughout the day, you can check for the latest news post. You can click the bell icon on the bottom left corner of the site and sign up for free push notifications. You’ll know when we post something new.
If you’re a paid subscriber for just $65 a year, or $6 a month (works out to $72 for the year for monthly subscribers), you’ll get 100% access to the content on our site. You should really consider becoming a paid subscriber today, as your support goes a long way to support the kind of journalism you’ve come to expect from us.
Our news email (the one you’re reading right now) is FREE to everyone. I’ve found this to be the most effective and convenient way to push our news to 15,000 news email subscribers.
From now on, I’m going to send the news email on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. This small change will give us more time to produce more journalism that matters to you.
I hope you enjoy our new news email features, like our Agenda section, which shows you the meetings we’re covering, and the stories we’ll be writing. In our new Coronavirus hospitalizations section, I’ve got my eye on the number of hospitalizations reported in our region, and the number continues to be surprisingly low.
These past few months, I’ve been sending the news email on weekdays at 7 p.m. However, I’ve found that more people read the email when it’s sent in the mornings.
Of course, when something big happens, I’ll send a breaking news email so you’ll always be in the know.
