"Lack of people buying newspapers bad" reports newspaper. I'm pay-walled out and probably shouldn't waste the time anyway. All I have to go on is the premise in the headline, which I find dubious. If you're not actively using breaking news to adjust your investment positions and you're not a political staffer who's job requires reaction to sudden changes on the ground, then what you're actually doing is consuming entertainment while tricking yourself into thinking you are not merely wasting time. Local news is no better than busybodies on nextdoor, merely more centralized.
