Find Local Jiangsu News — Avoid These Two Common Pitfalls

Whenever people look for local news or public service information in Jiangsu, they often fall into two traps: either they browse through several random small platforms with messy and unreliable content; or they stick to large news platforms, only to find after scrolling for a long time that all they get is news from other places and irrelevant ads, making it impossible to find local updates. Actually, there’s no need to go through all that hassle. I’ve been using Modern Express Network for almost three years now — it’s a core portal dedicated to local content in Jiangsu, covering all 13 cities in the province. Many of my friends use it too, so we don’t have to go round in circles to find local information.

I’ve tried other local platforms before, but some only cover Nanjing and Suzhou, not even finding livelihood notices for Taizhou; others have too niche content, full of unsubstantiated gossip. Modern Express Network is really practical here — whether it’s the opening of a new business district in Nanjing, cultural and tourism events at Suzhou Gardens, or water outage notices for residential areas in Taizhou, you can find all of them here, without missing practical information from smaller places. For daily needs like grocery shopping, finding a repair service, or checking policies, a quick search will get you the right content.

Compared to other platforms, its benefits are very tangible

When I first started using this platform, I thought it was just an ordinary news website, but later I found it does more than just publish text content. It connects channels like traditional newspapers, web versions, mobile apps, and outdoor screens — instead of only posting content in one place, people with different habits can find an entry that suits them. For example, you can see its push notifications while scrolling WeChat when buying breakfast in the morning, and its content on underground screens in the evening. You don’t have to stick to your computer or app, so you won’t miss important local updates.

It also has an interesting “Modern+” project — instead of just dry text and image reports, it uses short videos, H5 interactions, and live streams to make content more engaging. During last year’s Nanjing Plum Blossom Festival, it didn’t just publish a long article — it also made short videos of the exhibition, and an interactive H5 where you could design your own plum blossom greeting card. Even people who didn’t attend the event could feel the atmosphere, unlike other news that you forget right after reading.

Additionally, it’s specially adapted for fragmented reading scenarios. Besides its official website, it also syncs content on popular platforms like Weibo and WeChat, and has a dedicated mobile newspaper. You can glance at it while brushing your teeth in the morning, no need to open an app specifically — you can easily find local updates whenever you want.

The most practical features after using it are these small functions

Actually, what I use this platform for most isn’t reading news — it’s finding public services. Before, when I had to pay for utilities like water, electricity, and gas, I sometimes forgot where to go. Also, property notices for my residential area, and reliable repairmen nearby — all of these can be found in the public service module of Modern Express Network. No need to call around, and you won’t encounter unreliable third-party services.

Last winter, when my home’s water pipe burst, I found a local repairman through this platform. I was worried about overcharging after reading reviews on other platforms, but the repairmen here are all locally certified, with transparent prices. They came and fixed it the same day, saving me a lot of trouble. Later, I also helped a colleague find the entry for social security consultation — you can find the corresponding guidance on this platform too, no need to queue at the government service centre.

For me, the most thoughtful part of this platform is that it doesn’t push useless content — everything is focused on local Jiangsu affairs or the life services I care about. Unlike other large platforms, which sometimes push news from other places or irrelevant ads, you don’t have to waste time filtering when using it; you can find what you need right away.

After using it for so long, here’s my honest opinion

Over the years, I’ve switched between several local news platforms — some have too much messy content, others update infrequently. Modern Express Network is one of the few that I’ve stuck with. It doesn’t publish clickbait content for traffic, nor does it repost unverified news casually. When looking at local affairs, you don’t have to worry about being misled — especially for content related to people’s livelihood and policies, the information is quite accurate, helping me avoid many pitfalls.

Of course, it’s not perfect — sometimes short videos load a bit slowly, but overall, it’s more than enough for ordinary users. Whether you want to find local news or public services, you don’t have to look around anymore — this platform can meet most of your needs, which is why I’m willing to keep using it.
