There is nobody on that list doing authentic "hyperlocal" (awful buzzword) coverage. Just aggregators and would-be franchisers. If any of your readers are sincerely interested in working with "hyperlocal" news sites - they should already know who's doing it in their neighborhood, and who's doing it well - because almost everyone else in their neighborhood already knows about the sites, reads them, discusses them, and contributes to them. National franchises and corporate imitations absolutely do not count. The only ones that do count in this world are the independents - because they are truly involved with their communities.
