What is this thing?

First, Go Hyperlocal is a handy resource for anyone interested in the exciting world of local independent news publishing. Call it whatever you want; Hyperlocal, Microlocal, Local Blogging, or just News. Take a look around the directory and you'll get the idea.

We are dedicated to recognizing those who produce exceptionally well done examples of this fast growing genre of news. By sharing these sites, and their best practices, others may find the inspiration and direction to start their own project.

When the newly inspired publisher has their own exceptionally outstanding site, it will be included in this directory also. Circle of Life.
