Get central Virginia news texts, straight to your phone

Readers often tell us they are overwhelmed by information fatigue. All the notifications, all the social media and all the AI slop makes it hard to get important local news.

Charlottesville Tomorrow wants to get you local news that is useful, timely and actually impactful for your day-to-day lives.

Nearly 9,000 central Virginians subscribe to our email newsletters, including Beyond the Headlines, Week in Review and the Voter Guide. But in our last two audience surveys about 20% of you said you’d like to get news from us another way: via text message.

For those who prefer to get their news without scrolling, our weekly text message news roundups bring you ways to stay connected to your local community and the reporting you need to better understand your neighbors.

Charlottesville Tomorrow wants to make sure you get the news that’s most important and helpful to you. Our text message service is interactive. You can text us to quickly get in touch with the newsroom. Feel free to tell us what’s working (or not) so that we can get better at serving you, our community.
