IMLS Public Libraries Survey ↗In the news
Headlines link to the original publisher. Publication dates come from the publisher’s feed. City feeds show their stated local coverage; other stories require a place-name headline mention. Neither establishes an independently verified incident location.
Selected headlines from Alabama Reflector. Place results match a reviewed city feed or a place-name headline mention. Official community updates are labelled separately from newsroom reporting. State results can include national reporting selected by the publisher. Headlines are retained for up to 90 days from publication; collection began September 2026 and is not a complete archive.
Feeds are checked twice daily. How updates work

Sources, selection & reuse
Connected feeds include selected local and state newsroom reporting, health reporting, and labelled public-agency updates. A publisher’s geographic selection does not establish an event’s location. Items explicitly categorized as opinion or commentary are excluded; this is a source filter, not a guarantee of neutrality. No generated summary, safety score or sentiment score is added.
