Where do you get the news from/about your town? Local shows, new bars, public events, city projects, things like that.
Discussion
Driving around. Local friends. I think people still use Facebook primarily for stuff like that.
Yeah, Facebook groups are big for the towns around me.
We still have local zines
local hardcore community
Pretty much entirely word of mouth at this point.
Há canais no Telegram que cobrem as notícias e eventos da região mais próxima. Sobre eventos culturais na região: ou sites específicos, como o Guia Off ( https://guiaoff.com.br ), ou plataformas de eventos, como Sympla, por exemplo.
Public notice boards usually near the front entrance door of every ICA or Coop grocery store throughout Sweden in cities and towns both large and small. Usually these places have the highest foot traffic.

Internet still nr 1 source .
I hate to say it, but every time I deactivate IG, I realize that’s still been the place.
Basically instagram/whatsapp groups.
I think a lot of that is on IG, unfortunately. So I'm pretty out of the loop these days.

Bigger cities will have blogs, newsletters, well-developed subreddits... But there's a well-noted dearth of local reporting, especially for less populated places.
Neighborhood, mayor meeting, city newsletter/website.
Neighbors and fellow plebs
My staff.
Most places I've lived have a local free magazine at places like barber shops and grocery stores and such. This is Roanoke, VA version.
Social media.. for now X and Facebook..friends that post..

The chief of the village transmits it through loudspeakers every morning at seven.
Talking to frens and neighbors. Listening local radio stations, preferably those of universities or cultural associations. Walking the neighborhood too, flyers and notices all around the urban landscape; sometimes over actual physical boards, wooden or metal made, coffee shops and libraries often have them. Newspaper stands would never leave but nowadays I think magazines are having a comeback after some cool down due the internet boom.
Talk to people. I can recommend!
I don't. I'm aiming to not be anywhere near anything of that sort. I don't even get significant family news. 🤷♂️

Walking around and friends and coworkers
My city is small. A town of 60,000 people. C has 2 newspapers and when I want to know something I go to read those newspapers online.
But are they real articles or just marketing for big companies? Ours transformed into just as pieces. It's pretty sad.
They are local newspapers mostly soaked in propaganda and marketing for large companies. But if you want to know about events or things like that concerning the city go to the websites of these newspapers and find all the events of the city
