Bklyner[1] (pronounced "Brooklyner", often stylized in all-caps) was a hyper-local news site from the borough of Brooklyn in New York City.[2]

It has been described as "telling the stories considered too small for the major newspapers to bother with." Exclusives such as a 27,000 gallon oil spill "that the authorities had not made public"[3] led to legal changes.[4]

Major New York City newspapers[5] such the New York Daily News and the New York Post cite their information as a source.[6][7]
