Greg Sterling asks whether the ‘Hyper-Local’ News Site is a Flawed Model.
The Washington Post is closing LoudounExtra.com, a “hyper-local” news site and converting it to a page within WashingtonPost.com.
Not everyone agrees. The Hyper-local news site EveryBlock has been bought by MSNBC. EveryBlock allows users in 15 cities across the US to enter their zip codes (postcodes) and get news, public information, photos and local blogs about their neighbourhood displayed across interactive maps.
