Miami Herald Launches Hyperlocal News Sites in Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Coral Springs
Indianapolis, IN – Local journalism is making a comeback in Florida with the Miami Herald’s recent initiative to launch three hyperlocal news websites dedicated to the communities of Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Coral Springs. These new platforms aim to keep residents informed about important local issues without the barrier of a paywall, fostering community engagement and empowerment.
This exciting development comes at a time when community-level journalism has been on the decline, underscoring the resilience of local media in effectively addressing neighborhood concerns and sharing valuable information. By investing in hyperlocal reporting, Miami Herald demonstrates a commitment to enhancing civic involvement, which in turn can stimulate local economies and promote a culture of entrepreneurship.
New Community-Focused Websites
Launched on October 1, the three dedicated news sites are:
- Pembroke Pines News: pembrokepinesflnews.com
- Miramar News: miramarflnews.com
- Coral Springs News: coralspringsflnews.com
Each site focuses on delivering the news that matters most to its respective community, including updates on local government decisions, school events, new businesses, and profiles of community members driving change. This localized reporting can help address everyday challenges and highlight successes within these neighborhoods.
Features and Accessibility
Notably, all content will be accessible free of charge, ensuring equitable access to important local information. This approach removes barriers that often prevent community members from staying informed. The websites will provide real-time updates, newsletters, and features on the individuals and organizations that contribute to the community’s vibrancy. Residents will also have an opportunity to contribute to the news cycle by sharing tips and suggestions.
Background Context

By focusing on neighborhood-level reporting, the Miami Herald is taking proactive steps to fill the gap left by closures and cutbacks, thereby strengthening local journalism across Broward County.
Community Involvement

Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Coral Springs residents are invited to share their ideas and feedback, opening a dialogue that allows journalism to better reflect the needs and interests of the community.
