Hyperlocal News Roundup
by Matt on Oct 3, 2010 in Industry
Some good articles in this week’s roundup. I had hoped to blog in some detail about the “What Works For Hyperlocal News Sites” article that’s listed below, but just ran out of time. There’s some good stuff in there, so don’t miss it. Howard Owens of The Batavian wrote a good piece on beating Patch, and I should offer congrats to Tracy Record of the West Seattle Blog — one of the finalists named in the first article below about the 2010 Online Journalism Awards. Congrats, TR!

thanks! glad we were going to the ONA convention anyway – we’ll be on a pre-conference panel about the Networked Journalism project in which we’re involved with the Seattle Times (as part of the wider nationwide experiment hatched by J-Lab), originally us and a few other Seattle sites, but since expanded by the Times to a wider effort involving dozens of regional sites large and small.
Great round up as always. Of particular interest is Steve Buttry’s Blog post. In #BTV, #VT we discuss Coopetition all the time
