This Is Your News: The NEA Report App Is Here

Northeast Arkansas, we have something new for you. The NEA Report app is here.

Our free app for iPhone and iPad brings local reporting, breaking news alerts, area weather and reader achievements together in one place. From Jonesboro and Paragould to communities across the region, it is built around the places and people we cover every day.

Download NEAReport.com from Apple’s App Store and look for the red-and-blue NEA Report icon. You do not need an account to read the news.

Breaking News That Stays Local

Turn on breaking news notifications to hear about important local developments. Tap an alert to open the story, or visit the Alerts page to catch up on the latest five alerts we have sent.

Alerts will be for breaking local news only.

Local outlets should report local news — period.
