regional news

Area current events

Regional news covers events and stories within a defined geographic area—typically a state, province, or multi-county region—as distinct from local coverage of a single city or national and international reporting.

Regional news often includes politics, weather, sports, and human interest stories relevant to that area: The regional news covered flooding across three counties.

Regional news outlets serve audiences too dispersed for hyperlocal coverage but united by shared concerns.
