\u201c’While newspapers have been decimated by the economics transforming today’s media industry, Web sites that report news and deliver other content at the neighborhood, or\u00a0hyperlocal, level, are bursting with life, with many of them becoming sought-after targets by big media and big tech companies.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0THE DEAL<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won’t tell us much about the catastrophe in Haiti, but when a store closes on Lincoln Avenue a hyperlocal\u00a0Web site can be all over it. As far as viable new media models go, for the time being hyperlocalism\u00a0might be the best one we’ve got.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0CHICAGO READER<\/p>\n
Hyperlocal news sites have much in common with weekly community newspapers, though hyperlocal sites tend to focus on even smaller geographic areas. And while weeklies are usually printed, most hyperlocal journalism tends to be online, thus avoiding the costs associated with a printed paper.

Plans to build a supermarket on a field on Homestead Rd, a burst water main at the end Lee Blvd, and more stolen A\/C units \u2026 They may not be the most exciting things to read about, but they have a good chance of attracting your attention because, unlike a stock market crash, political scandal or natural disaster across the other side of the globe, they have a direct effect on you and your immediate surroundings. This is the philosophy behind the growing interest in\u00a0hyperlocal\u00a0news.<\/p>\n
