So for example, one user can have a feed that includes updates about local sports teams, while another can have one focusing on local coronavirus news.
The latest release also enables Flipboard users to personalize their local feed by selecting from sub-topics related to their metro area the company calls it “passion picker.” It allows users to select from topic tags such as the names of sports teams, nearby towns and topics like local politics, and real estate. Our local coronavirus coverage consists of almost 200 stories per day and this integration with Flipboard’s local initiative will increase discovery of this important information.
