H-local news sites

Here is a selection of Hyperlocal news sites from around the Globe (although things are a little Anglo Saxon at the moment!)…   I presently make no distinction between corporate and not-for-profit initiatives (I may do in future).  I am more interested in platforms that work, platforms that people choose to use. If I can figure out how to create a database in WordPress, I will develop this into something really useful (any advice here would be very welcome).
