Welcome! The Breaking News Network is a national hyperlocal network in over 300 cities dedicated to community service and social media sourced news. Each city in our network is managed by locals.
If you’re a business, civic group, arts organization or good cause, and you’re actively using Twitter to share your community news, events, initiatives, or even reviews, we’ll automatically retweet your messages to our community follower base.
Why?
We firmly believe in the power of social media at the local level. Most of your daily errands, your business and your livelihood is really done within walking and driving distance. We want to empower you to be able to reach your local audience via our 300 Twitter feeds.
Again, we are community service media. We believe in Buy Local. We will never charge you a cent for helping you get your word out, ever.
How?
You can tweet through our Breaking News Twitter feed (whatever city you are from) simply by adding the #hashtag of the name of the city at the end of your tweet (the example below is #albany). Our Twitter feed ( in this case @albanynybuzz) will instantly retweet your tweet:
