I loved writing this September News Media Profile, about a small newspaper publisher in the Pacific Northwest that’s doing big things. You won’t find the publisher, Matthew Nelson, traveling to industry events or competing for the latest technological innovations.

I was pleasantly surprised when E&P’s Robin Blinder and Mike Blinder returned from Borrell Miami this spring with a new story in hand about hyperlocal news—TV and radio broadcasters leveraging their brands and trustful audiences to launch hyperlocal digital sites and streaming services. So, I followed up with Gordon Borrell to get his take on why hyperlocal news was seeing a renaissance of sorts and followed up with three media executives in the throes of starting up new hyperlocal media properties. Here are their stories:
