Hyperlocal rules: how to be home-grown and sustainable

document Distributed Knowledge
Summary Local news is experiencing both crisis and renaissance: as industry upheaval continues to swallow up metropolitan and regional newspapers (a site called Newspaper Death Watch sprouted up in 2007 to track the North American casualties), some of the journalists being turned into the streets are putting their ear to the asphalt, listening carefully, and participating in the online reincarnation of neighbourhood reporting.
Description As local newspapers continue to evaporate, however, a “near me” news vacuum is opening up in localized pockets across North America and Europe. Hyperlocal sites like Wrexham.com and the Port Talbot MagNet in Wales, Berkeleyside and West Seattle Blog in the US, Torontoist in Canada and Eindhoven in the Netherlands are cropping up to fill the void.
