I found this interesting article in Time regarding how what are known as hyperlocal websites are taking over coverage of neighborhood news. This has resulted from newspapers and media outlets cutting the local news due to staff cut backs and printing skimpier editions in this economy. Now you have entrepreneurs and ordinary citizens (Pro Ams???) stepping up to the plate and filling the gap. A prime example is Tracy REcord's West Seattle Blog. Hmmmmm.
