How to Get the Most from Reston Now

Reston Now is coming up on its one-year anniversary. Thanks to all who have followed us, read our stories and sent us news tips.

There are a few ways this site can be even better for you. Reston Now is a great place to stay updated on your area, publicize an event and talk to your neighbors.

Here are five things to know to make Reston Now work for you.

1. The Newsletter Comes Out Every Afternoon — Want the news of the day to come directly to you? Sign up for our daily newsletter. It will arrive in your inbox every weekday at about 4 p.m. Reading the afternoon newsletter is a great way to catch up on what happened that day. Go to the Reston Now’s homepage and click the envelope symbol or Newsletter on the blue bar to sign up. We won’t spam you with anything else.

2. Want News as It Happens? — Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to read our stories all day long. You can leave comments and messages, and speak with editor Karen Goff directly.

3. Something on Your Mind? Let Us Know! — We have lots of ways for you to speak your mind. You can send a letter to the editor to [email protected]. You can comment on every story to engage in discussion with your neighbors. You can answer one of our poll questions. And you can send us an anonymous tip. Coming very soon: Reston Now Forums where you can discuss any topic.

4. Want to Share Your Photos of Reston? — We would love to see them and maybe use them on the site. Visit our Reston Now Flickr Page to upload your pictures, or email a few to [email protected].
