HOUSTON (KTRK) -- ABC13's mission is to cover the stories that matter most to you.

Our stories revolve around what is happening in our local communities and aim to inform, inspire and encourage conversation. We are proud to live and work in the communities we cover and value connecting with our readers/viewers. That is why, we are excited to announce that ABC13 is working with Nextdoor, the free and private social network for neighborhoods, to bring relevant local news to the conversations happening right in your own neighborhood.

More than 1,500 neighborhoods currently use Nextdoor to stay informed about what's happening in their community and cultivate meaningful conversations around local issues. We are joining Nextdoor to be a part of that conversation and will share relevant and timely news about topics affecting your area.

Discussing local news with neighbors is an essential way to build a strong community and an informed civic dialogue. We hope that the stories we share lead to further community discussions and that you learn a little more about your neighbors and community along the way. In addition, it gives us at ABC13 a great way to engage with neighbors and get a sense of what topics you want to hear about. We will not have access to your private neighborhood conversations or member data, and can only see neighbor replies to the posts we make.

We always strive to ensure the stories we cover are of interest to you, and this is another great way we can achieve that.

We look forward to connecting with you and other Houston neighbors on Nextdoor. You can visit ABC13's Nextdoor profile page to find locally relevant stories from our staff. To join the neighborhood news conversation, sign up for Nextdoor by going to www.nextdoor.com and entering your email address and home address.
