The newspaper industry has taken quite a hit within the last couple of years with many papers, especially smaller ones, folding. This leaves smaller communities and suburbs without their traditional main source of news. However, a new trend of local-themed web sites has sprung up in an attempt to fill the void. It is called "hyperlocal" news, with some examples including sites like EveryBlock, Spot.us, Outside.in, Placeblogger and Patch. The goal: provide readers with the kind of information that will not make it into a major metropolitan daily, such as city council meetings, school events, high school sports, crime reports, street repairs and human interest stories. Unlike traditional media entities, hyperlocal news sites do not rely exclusively on professional journalists. Instead, many of the sites use a mix of freelance and in-house content to fill up the net pages. The belief is that sometimes the best-informed residents of a community aren't employees of a news organization - the community's residents will be the true experts. This really is part of a wider shift in news coverage and also the very definition of news itself. Hyperlocal sites also vary widely in look and function - some are closer to a conventional news organization with a full-blown news staff that produces stories and interviews. The look and feel can be very much like a traditional newspaper, with the only exception being there's no printed product. As an example, Patch hires reporters and operates community-focused sites that feel very much like a regular news site (they are even still hiring in case you are searching for a proven way to get additional involved). Outside.in takes an even different approach, presenting the user with a number of nearby crimes or events after typing within an address. Other sites create something closer to a community calendar that highlights local happenings and activities. Rather than hard news coverage, the site may contain a whole lot of human interest features and profiles of various community members. Placeblogger, in contrast, is a collection of local blogs about your community. The site organizes the blogs by similar content and functions as a guide to help you find interesting blogs to read. EveryBlock, meanwhile, aggregates content by individual neighborhood, including listings for not simply events but real-estate, restaurants, businesses, and even other odd items like pothole repairs. Whichever format wins out, it's pretty apparent that local news, especially in suburbs or smaller communities, is moving to the web. Combine that with the explosion in social networking tools, and Arizona News Site ([http://journals.pu.edu.pk/journals/index.php/index/user/viewPublicProfile/304957 click web page]) is a far more scattered and dynamic category than it used to be. While it means there is a magnitude of content accessible for consumption, it is currently spread across the web at many different sites. So what that implies for users is rather than answering the question of "what's going on in the neighborhood?" through opening the local paper, several sites are harnessing the power of the web and user-generated content to inform residents. As the loss of long-standing news organizations is certainly nothing to celebrate, it's exciting to see a range of forces converging to fill the gap. As well as for you it indicates more of the opportunity to shape how news is covered in your community.
