“He pioneered ‘glocal’ news — outsourcing Pasadena coverage to India at Pasadena Now, his daily online ‘newspaperless,’ as he likes to call it.

I ran into a Technical Report titled Glocal Multimedia Retrieval

Hypothesized glocal was about joining the global and the local. "Glocal" = local diversity + global knowledge?
Abstract uses phrases like:
"local diversity into an evolving global knowledge"
"gap between local content and global concept"
"Personal experience is intrinsically local while common knowledge is global."
context-sensitive
This example here at wordnik helps most: 'Hu used the word "glocal" to describe business strategies combining "global vision with local strategy."'
