About
Local Local Local Local (Local4) collects local news for Opelika, Auburn, Auburn University and the rest of Lee County, Alabama, in one place and ranks it by how much it matters here.
How it works
The site regularly checks a list of local news sources, school and sports pages and public feeds. Each story is scored by how closely it ties to Lee County, how recent it is, and visitor votes. Headlines always link to the original publisher.
What we do and do not do
- We link to the publisher. We show a headline, a short excerpt or our own words, and a picture only when the publisher provides one.
- Most of what you see is reported by other publishers, and we point you to the people who do that work. Sometimes we also publish our own internal reporting or citizen journalism, and we label it so you can tell it apart.
- An automated helper sorts stories into topics. A person can review and change any of it.
Ads and sponsors
This site is not ad supported. If local businesses or organizations ask to be featured, they will be local, and anything paid for will be clearly marked as an ad or sponsored.
