[David Higgerson, quoted on *Hold The Front Page*](http://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2016/news/publisher-continues-web-rebrand-with-launch-of-new-county-wide-sites/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> Lincolnshire Live and Cornwall Live follow the same model of hyperlocal news on a county-wide platform as the recently launched Essex Live, Kent Live, Gloucestershire Live and Somerset Live.

David, I don’t think hyperlocal means what you think it means. Sites for entire counties are pretty much the opposite of hyperlocal – even if stories are “hyperlocal”. Or, in this case, “local”. It’s missing the point of a niche site for a niche community.
