Without profitability they cannot survive. The industry as a whole is in decline. People are not as willing to pay for content and ad revenue is not as profitable. But, more importantly, ad revenue also makes what little content is left more susceptible to manipulation vs actually reporting the facts. Compared to how many of these news outlets used to be, many of the local ones today are complete garbage. Lots of poorly written, if it bleeds it leads types of articles etc..

- xellisx 8y agoIt was a random side note about how community news papers were more profitable than the ones that cover larger areas. The community ones also report on city goverment stuff, so losing one would just be a loss of another information outlet.
