What is hyperlocal media?
Hyperlocal media organisations cover community-focused public interest news and important local issues through print and online, working at a local geographic level.

We help nurture hyperlocal media organisations, and encourage new hyperlocal entrants by providing capacity-building support, expert advice and access to critical third-party services. The hands-on support provided by LINA will directly address the challenges commonly cited by hyperlocal news organisations.
