	As opposed to Citizen Journalism, the production and distribution of community or hyperlocal news often has an organizational basis (commercial or nonprofit institutions).

Other sites have emerged from startup companies, information aggregators, community organizations, or journalism schools. This presents an opportunity to reach a targeted (though diffuse) set of stakeholders to raise awareness of the need for preservation and to test collection and preservation models.
