Q: “How does NABUR work?”

A: NABUR’s content is powered by its community members, all of whom can comment, read and post. As of 2023, there are 5 different versions of NABUR, each of which is designated to a town or city that is a market for one of Wick Communications’ media companies.

Q: “What do the journalist product managers do?”

A: Journalist product managers are qualified journalists who moderate content on NABUR. Usually, these journalists work for a Wick-owned media company that is associated with a NABUR community. For example, the moderator of the Wenatchee NABUR in Washington is most likely a journalist for the Wenatchee World.

Their role is to make sure the conversations taking place are appropriate, and to prevent any spread of misinformation if it arises.

Q: “How is NABUR different than social media?”

A: NABUR does not consider itself a social media platform, although its functionality is similar. Each NABUR emphasizes the distinctive details of what makes their community so special. It represents all the things, people, and places that give each community its own identity and character. NABUR focuses on bringing people together who share the same environment that they call home, and aspires to do so by creating opportunities for connection and support between its members.
