I totally agree that when the media fails to make a distinction between hyperlocal and local is simply devalues the hyperlocal concept. A website covering Tri-Cities (WA), for that matter, is not hyperlocal in my opinion. A blog covering a neighborhood in Richland (WA) is hyperlocal.

I think there’s some real merit in the distinction between hyperlocal and local. I covered this very topic back in September: http://christopherwink.com/2009/09/29/hyperlocal-news-a-definition/

Mainstream media always looks for the latest “buzz” word. Several years ago all the news stations started toting their radar as “Doppler this” “Doppler that”

It’s all marketing, hopefully little guys like us can find a way to benefit from it.

BTW – Great blog Matt!

I agree, there really needs to be a defined difference between local and hyperlocal. In our home area we have 4 school districts and I felt like for me to be hyperlocal and bring the most useful (and hard to find content) to readers, I needed to give each school district it’s own site.

That way the site can cover everything from pto meetings, to little league games. To even live streaming city council meetings. Testing that one this week.

I have had a lot of people ask why we didn’t cover the whole area with one site. They say it will be harder to build separate brands for separate towns. On the flip side I have had a lot of people tell me that they are pumped to be able to focus on just their community and cover ALL school events.

So, unless these big guys plan on covering pee wee t-ball I just don’t think they are that hyper
