Never Miss a Story from The Newton Beacon
Here’s how you can make sure your emails are in your inbox and that local news is always at your fingertips.
We’re committed to keeping you informed about the news that matters most in our community.
To make sure you never miss an update, here are two simple things you can do:
Step 1: Make Sure Our Emails Land in Your Inbox (Not Your Spam)
If you use Gmail, you can help ensure our emails appear front and center by moving them to your Primary inbox tab:
Find an email from us (look for anything from @newtonbeacon.org).
Drag the email from the “Promotions” or “Updates” tab into your “Primary” inbox.
When prompted, click “Yes” to do this for future messages.
For other email services like Yahoo, Outlook, or Apple Mail, you may need to “whitelist” our address. This tells your email provider that you trust us and want to receive our messages.
