Are there good local papers? I thought everything local was basically owned by Gannett.
Per Wiki:
USA Today, the Detroit Free Press, The Indianapolis Star, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Tennesseanin Nashville, Tennessee, The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York, The Des Moines Register, The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Arizona, The News-Press in Fort Myers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the Great Falls Tribune. Dozens of other smaller papers.
Last fall they refused to delay printing in order to publish the midterm election results. If they don’t GAF about their readers - and they don’t, it’s simply a series of revenue streams - why should readers support them?
Seen one, seen ‘em all. No differentiation in Newspapers these days with the the obvious exceptions of the larger, still independent big city papers.
