"Local" online news in a lot of the UK has all but died a death. We have a couple of big news outlets that basically publish a little local news in practically no depth and then fill the rest with clickbait "news" items of no value other than to generate clicks. There seem to be practically no real journalists and readers are "invited to send in their pictures" - without payment of course. Hopefully these dumpster files will die out soon..
- lol768 7y agoCompletely agree. JPIMedia seems to be one of the big players, most of their content is just from "the i newspaper". There's a little bit of local content, and it's all locked behind a "turn off your ad-blocker or else" script. Newsquest is another. Poorly written journalism which usually looks as if it hasn't been proof-read.
