Top Local News Websites Using WordPress

WordPress is the world's most widely used open-source content management system, powering a large share of all websites. It began as blogging software and now runs everything from personal sites to major publishers, thanks to a vast ecosystem of themes and plugins. Sites built on it are easy to spot from their wp-content paths and generator tags.
