In The Netherlands a platform arose to look up local news per city/town/village, called In De Buurt ("In The Neighborhood") [1]. It isn't complete ie. does not cover all cities, nor does it cover specific neighborhoods of cities (kinda ironic) but it does have professional journalists who do the work (I'd assume they work there freelance). It is considered complimentary to local TV/newspaper/radio (which also still exist, albeit different than pre-WWW).
