The site first began as a side project of Fairfax resident Chris LeCompte. With numerous news sites dotted throughout the area, LeCompte found it challenging to quickly access geographically organized news content. NoVA Scanner solves this problem by placing Northern Virginia news on a single page. LeCompte also curates the content, filtering out as many non-news items as possible.

“My goal was to provide a hub for Northern Virginia news,” LeCompte said. “More importantly, I wanted to create a site that’s easy to access for people who don’t have the time to check dozens of local sources independently.”
