Wait, there are still towns with daily papers? I live in a town with 100,000 people (if I include the immediately surrounding towns, there are over half a million people within 5 miles of my house) and we haven't had a daily paper in... I can't even remember how long.
- realbarack 7y agoWhat town is that? Is there a daily news blog or something?
- farrarstan 7y agoYou live in a city homie
- chrisseaton 7y agoSome towns can get really large but never become cities for whatever reason.
- mkl 7y ago"over half a million people within 5 miles of my house" is more people and more densely populated than many cities though, so it seems a little silly not to call it one. There is only one city in my country with more people than that, and it's not as dense.
- chrisseaton 7y agoIn many countries 'city' is a formal thing, and not related to the number of people living there. The smallest city in the UK has 1,797 people, and the largest town has 466,266 people, for example.
- irrational 7y agoI don't think so. No buildings are more than 2 stories tall. For me, it's hard to think of a place as a city that has no city infrastructure.
- TomMarius 7y agoIm my country, towns with 10000 people have their daily newspapers, albeit short ones. 100000 seems really a lot to have no media, that's the size of my home city and we had like.. 5 competing newspapers, IIRC (today there are dozens of competing websites)
