10 reasons why hyperlocal publishing may be important

I am no fan of repetition or the lazy use of lists, but on a lazy Saturday afternoon while compiling reports on the role of hyperlocal information services I thought the following would be of interest, as we launch a quick consultation on OurLocality, a Free East Lothian Website Publishing Platform.

1. Holding authority to account

2. Election Coverage

3. Campaigning

4. Civic Participation

5. Giving communities a voice

6. Storytelling

7. Reflecting cultural identity

8. Local reporting

9. Civic pride

10. Plugging gaps
