I don't think you are right, because nobody has succeeded at the scope you have suggested - never mind local papers, even prestigious publications like TIME are having a very tough time, which I doubt is a "branding/marketing" issue. You are vastly overestimating the "will to pay" for journalism. It's much more likely that local news desks will disappear in favor for a central and smaller product.

- magic_beans 10y agoI pay for Washington Post and NYT. Honestly, I couldn't live without them. Not for your typical daily news, but for the truly interesting stories. It's good stuff. I could spend hours.
