“Hyperlocal”. That’s enough to put me off it right there
I’m no apologist for News Corp. That said, hyperlocal has been found by publishers to be commercially valuable – it’s corporate speak for local stories that will interest local people, and with them the publisher can make a pitch to local advertisers. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
