I’m not sure where the term “Hyperlocal Journalism” originated but it’s starting to be used to describe the kind of local blogging we’re doing on Northfield.org. Last week, I used the weblog to cover the rising waters of the Cannon River over the course of three days and it drew the attention of Len Witt and his Public Journalism weblog. Scroll through the blog and you’ll see terms like “hyper-local news” to describe the “every-citizen’s-a-journalist movement.”
