Today On Facebook, News You Need To Know

To extend our reach as a local news platform, Brandon Patch will check in daily with a sampling of status updates on Facebook that might have caught your eye — or not.

We'll post a daily list to some compelling content and invite you to do so as well in the comment box below. (In our busy lives, more eyes on social media news networks is a good thing!) Consider this the start of a "content index" to use interactively throughout the day.

We'll start with some of our own finds and, like you, add to the list in the comment box below as we scan social media pages throughout the day.
