Methodology · v3.2

Local news is a smaller-audience niche, so Size (×2.0) carries less practical weight and Activity (×1.0) matters more: a channel serving its area daily beats a larger but quieter one. Growth (×1.5) surfaces feeds gaining local trust, and Trust (×0.5) favours verified outlets over anonymous reposters.

FAQ

What makes a channel local news rather than world news?

A focus on a specific city, region, or community (its events, services, and civic life) places a channel here, while broader national and international coverage sits under world news.

Does a smaller local channel stand a chance in the ranking?

Yes. Because audience size carries less practical weight in this niche, a consistently active local channel can outrank a larger but quieter one.
