  In this paper, we present a dataset of over 1.4M online news articles from
313 local U.S. news outlets published over 20 months (between April 4th, 2020
and December 31st, 2021). These outlets cover a geographically diverse set of
communities across the United States. In order to estimate characteristics of
the local audience, included with this news article data is a wide range of
county-level metadata, including demographics, 2020 Presidential Election vote
shares, and community resilience estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The
NELA-Local dataset can be found at:
