What is Breaking News?

The Breaking News Network delivers social media sourced news and information to over 300 cities and neighborhoods. Each Breaking News site and their accompanying social media feeds (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) provide a real time ticker tape of everything happening in a community.

What makes Breaking News different from other hyperlocal media? We’re grass roots. Every city and neighborhood is managed on-the-ground by real people who are hubs of their community. We do not rely on advertising revenues, so we can promote our local merchants and organizations free. Breaking Bergen News is a good example of how we promote restaurants, good causes and other local institutions by embedding their complete website information as a community service. We have adopted Daily Deals to help the local businesses market themselves to the community at a granular town and neighborhood level. We also use Daily Deals to help fund good causes, both local and national.
