It won’t matter...the local newspapers are dying mostly because local TV stations are dedicated to local news, and you get the top 15 local stories of the day, via your local channel.

Up until 20 years ago, the local papers still had some advantages (advertising, local sports, crime-chatter, political scene, etc). But most of those strengths just dried up and disappeared. Across the nation, there might be fifty-odd newspapers who do local and state reporting to a significant degree....the rest are dying off. I’ll go ahead and predict that in Tenn within ten years, it’ll be just three papers left in the state that function or provide some profit.

My local TV TV stations aren’t dedicated to any kind of news. Just disinfo. Ditto for what passes for our local print media. I can learn more at my local diner than I can from our local enemedia.
