Proximity is a news value
A city council vote or a regional weather emergency may be far more relevant to you than a distant national story. Geography is one of journalism's oldest news values, and Headlinne treats it as a real signal—surfacing news that is close to you when closeness makes it matter.
Regional relevance ensures your feed reflects the place you actually live, not just the national headlines.
How location shapes your feed
Geographic signals help by:
- Surfacing local and regional stories relevant to your area
- Weighting events near you more heavily when they are significant
- Connecting national stories to their local impact
- Prioritizing region-relevant sources and coverage
Local without being narrow
Regional relevance is a boost, not a cage. Headlinne uses geography as one weighted signal among many, so your feed leans toward what is near and important without walling you off from national and world news.
You still get the big picture; you just also get the local picture that generic national feeds tend to miss.
Geography in Headlinne's ranking
Geographic relevance is a meaningful weighted input in Headlinne's recommendation engine, sitting alongside topic, entity, and semantic signals. That is why a locally important story can rise in your feed even if it is small nationally.
Combined with global signals, it gives you a feed that spans from your neighborhood to the world—see global news recommendations for the other half.
