#NoonDailyBarrington | A New Way to Discover & Share Good Things in Barrington, Illinois

2 mins read

For nearly seven years we’ve been sharing stories about people, places and things to do in Barrington. What started as a small way for us to celebrate the reasons to live in Barrington has become a resource for those seeking to reach our growing local audience.

As social media continues to transform the way we publish and receive local news, we’ve been evolving to better serve those with messages to share. We also work hard to keep things engaging, innovative, unexpected and fun. That is why we’re excited to introduce NoonDaily Updates, a new approach to gathering information and sharing the good things happening in Barrington, Illinois.

We’ve had a team working on our NoonDaily updates via Instagram since the beginning of the year (thank you Kate Smith) and we’ve loved the pleasant surprise of seeing others automatically join us in sharing. Today, we’re ready to reveal what we’ve been developing behind-the-scenes and officially invite you to participate.

Here’s how it works:

Each day we’ll be publishing a post at noon featuring the latest collected photos and information from various sources around town and we hope you’ll join us! Here are some of today’s NoonDaily Updates (see below or click here for original posts).

Why NoonDaily?

Gone are the days when local news arrived only with the paperboy or via regularly scheduled newscasts. Social media has changed the news cycle so dramatically that we find ourselves longing for a return to life with less disruption. At the same time, social media continues to enhance the best part of our work, which has always been learning from your story ideas, recommendations and experiences. NoonDaily is our commitment to gathering ideas and presenting information thoughtfully and regularly with respect for your time. So we hope you will join us in sharing slices of life locally, right here at noon daily.
