I know it’s not a popular view around here but local newspapers going down isn’t all good. There’s no better source to get local news and no better medium to follow around corrupt local politicos that the national media doesn’t care about.

I'd like to see local newspaper people around the country attempt to publish strictly local papers. There's one near me. They follow sports, city council, school board, crime, entertainment, etc.

Companies like Jounal Register Corp. are (were) in that niche, and are dying off. Note that these are often more conservative papers, too.
