local coverage

Nearby news stories

Local coverage refers to news reporting, insurance protection, or broadcast signals limited to a specific geographic area.

In journalism, local coverage means stories about nearby communities rather than national or international events: The paper is known for its local coverage of city hall.

In insurance, it describes policies that only apply within certain regions.

For broadcasting, local coverage indicates a station's signal reach within its designated market area.
