So, how well does it work?

It does a good job pulling relevant local headlines, but there appear to be some bugs. For example, my local paper here in Reading, Pa., is the Reading Eagle, and both stories that appeared on the front page came from that paper. But for some reason a story from the Chattanooga Times Free Press appeared among the sources. That paper is located in Tennessee.

I also had issues initially getting the "News Near Me" section to show up. After accepting to share my location the first time, the section failed to appear. I had to clear my cache and cookies and try a second time to get it to work properly.

Still, this new feature has a lot of positives.

An argument can be made that mobile sites are prime candidates for location-based services, especially when it comes to news, weather and the like. Of course, there will always be those who . You can't make everyone happy.
