A new social media platform called NABUR will launch tomorrow — exclusively for newspaper readers of the Daily Journal in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. NABUR stands for Neighborhood Alliance of Better Understanding and Respect.
It is a social media site, similar to Facebook. However, it is limited to people within Fergus Falls and the lakes area, and run by the Daily Journal, which is published by Wick Communications.
In announcing the new platform, Ken Harty, publisher of the Daily Journal, wrote: "The purpose of NABUR is to create a place where readers within the Lakes Area can ask questions, share what is going on in their neighborhoods and communicate with each another. In a nutshell, we want to know what topics you care about and what you think about them. Our goal is to be able to have civil conversations between neighbors about things that matter to them, that could be finding local garage sales or discussing the former Regional Treatment Center, etc. "
