Our local news is covering 2 counties that combined have 5 high schools. So, hyperlocal for me could be breaking up to report on individual towns within the county that have their own high school. Somebody could come along and one up me and go to the neighboorhood or block level, and they could be one upped by a blog that covers a household. Hyperlocal is relative. Zooming in more than the next guy. It really depends area to area. Our local news is covering 2 counties that combined have 5 high schools.

But I think of the weekly newspaper as "local." I'm not sure why that is, but I think I agree with you -- it's as much about the depth of the topic as the size of the geography.

Yup -- that's why it would be better to think about hyperlocal coverage in terms of focus on a set of assets that make up a 'community' http://neighborlogs.com/2010/02/24/the-hyperlocal-asset-package “In very small towns where neighborhoods are poorly defined or just don’t matter, you can be hyperlocal and still cover the whole town/city.”
