Hyperlocal News App Blockfeed Takes Another Stab at Geo-Aggregation

“Hyperlocal journalist” is not a title that gets romanticized often. To be a reporter or blogger for a local news organization in 2015 is to accept a lot of unknowns regarding audience reach and, in turn, economic stability. The need to compete for clicks and page views by pouring any and all available resources into technology has steepened an uphill battle to a full 90-degree wall, and fewer and fewer organizations are able to support their community journalism. The closest a local journalist gets to being romanticized these days is being called the underdog.
