Google news local

A place the edition has no local section for is a 404 rather than a generic national feed returned as if it were that city's news.

The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 2.7s.
