Category

Content is divided into 3 categories. News, Reporting, and Opinion.

  • News has an immediate impact on regulations, provides an update on a proposed ordinance, or notification of a government meeting. Examples: Public Notices from local governments, news articles from local papers, TV reports, government bulletins.

  • Reporting informs about the ongoing happenings impacting short-term rentals. This can be both changing sentiment of how the local community views rentals in their community (economic development & tourism versus affordability concerns) as well how rentals are impacting (nuisance complaints) their community. Examples: local journalism that doesn't fall into the News category, because it doesn't provide a notice of immediate changes to regulations. Blog posts from local experts. TV reports. Well researched policy briefs.

  • Opinion is broadcasting someone's perspective on how rentals should be managed in a community or jurisdiction. Examples: letters to the editor, guest columns, and editorials.

Local journalists usually provide the best (and sometimes only) coverage of changes to local ordinances, proposed regulation changes, and changing sentiment in a community or amongst elected officials.

It is important to highlight their work, and if you're interested in a new market... make sure to do a deep dive of local reporting to understand the community's dynamics before looking to understand the ordinances, taxes, and regulation requirements.
