Miami Herald To Launch Hyper-Local Web Network; Initial Focus On Five Local Communities, according to a November 13, 2009 article in Editor & Publisher:

"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. "They can use our content management system and publish photos, stories, have community forums and have control over advertising inventory. And they keep what they sell."

Hirsch said the network could conceivably grow to some 150 community sites, all within the Herald circulation area.

"The partners can share content and use our content if the want," he added.
