Never miss a Reno news story from ThisisReno
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg announced this week that publications like ours will no longer be seen as often in Facebook’s news feed — the place where many of our readers rely on getting local news.
We’ve anticipated this for months, and fortunately we do not rely solely on Facebook for website traffic. (Google has always been our primary referral source.)
Though we have a sizeable following on Facebook, it is clear that the recent announcement further harms the ability of our readers to actually see news from ThisisReno. Amazingly, unlike other publishers, we have not noticed a sizable drop in reach on Facebook. This, I believe, is due to the fact that we focus strictly on local news that is important to the Reno-area community.
But we can’t bank on that in the wake of Zuckerberg’s announcement.
The easiest way to keep getting ThisisReno stories — at no charge — is to sign up for our e-newsletter. Starting next week, our now weekly newsletter will be sent out Monday through Friday morning and will feature the latest stories on ThisisReno. We’ll take a break on Saturday and then feature a Sunday edition that summarizes the week’s top news and highlights upcoming events for that week.
