About News accounts on Nextdoor
Nextdoor allows local newsrooms and publishers to provide neighbors with relevant local articles related to communities and interests.
When you create a free news page, we will automatically ingest your RSS feed and distribute relevant articles to verified neighbors in the city, county, or DMA where they live, giving your newsroom brand-level presence at scale. Additionally, you can log into your page(s) to post articles, videos, polls, and events natively, geo-targeting those posts to specific neighborhoods.
