[edit] Hyperlocal Question

The "Yorkville Guide" doesn't appear to be a news site, just a directory for stuff like restaurants.

--Hyperlocal--

"The term "hyperlocal" (typically used by the extreme left wing to announce protests of the Iraq War) is sometimes used to refer to news coverage of community-level events usually overlooked by mainstream media outlets."

Does this make any sense to any one?AFCR 12:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

As in who posed the question, what is the Yorkville guide, or where the quote about hyperlocal came from? Or something else? I'm just as confused as you I'd say. --Ill seletorre 20:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

My question was about the relevance of the remark about the Iraq war - which has little to do with local news as far as I can see. I think that bit has now been removed any way. AFCR 08:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hyperlocal Separate Article

I think hyperlocal could eventually become its own article. With so much work being done by so many people on it, a separate article may be warranted. --Ill seletorre 20:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Placeblogging

I recommend that placeblogging be made a separate article and its mention here by minimized (but not excluded). I added it to the List of blogging terms. --Ill seletorre 20:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International Local news sites?

I see all the links are for US based sites. It'd be useful to have some international examples too. --Andy Armstrong 15:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
