Miami Herald to Launch Hyperlocal Web Network

The Miami Herald is the latest metro daily to join the hyper-local Web world, with plans to start a network of online sites focused on five of its communities before the end of 2009.

Rick Hirsch, senior editor, multimedia, says the five Web sites will be run by local residents or organizations that range from a former Herald reporter to a community foundation. “We’ve created a platform through which we can give a partner control over a neighborhood section,” he said.
