When you open a newspaper there are sections for each type of news article. Those sections are in the same position within the newspaper every day/week.

Below I’ve listed various sections I’ve used over the years for hyper-local newsletters that might give you some inspiration for your local area.

• Sports news
• Sports calendar
• Community calendar
• School/Education news
• Entertainment (Local and live events)
• Messages (teachings) from Churches
• Information from community groups
• Business news
• Advertorials
• Council/Government news
• Get involved (could cover volunteer positions, occasional events run by community groups, etc)
• Spotlight on local people
• Letters to the Editor
• Editorial
• Comic/Puzzle
• Message from the Mayor/Councillor/MP
• In the news (links to articles/videos your area has been mentioned in)
