Maybe it is because I was born before the internet was really used but I can't understand tha position of this is okay because we have new technologies that would allow for local news to still be viable without the people reporting it having any near geographical location to whom they are reporting to. While somewhat true, it seems like a strawman argument seen through rose colored glasses and this is not what will happen. Consolidation will continue and the only local news you'll probably get is what X corporation wants to supply you with. And you can not use the argument of 'free-market, vote with your wallet / consumption, switch to their competitor' because chances are there isn't one.
