Local news is more available now than previously.
There are mostly-free websites run by former print organizations, news websites started as digital-only by journalists, blog sites by local politically-involved commentators, and sites run by local government to publish council minutes, draft resolutions, meeting agendas, committee minutes, etc.
More detail and more points of view are available than one got from a subscription to a local print newspaper. As for local television, that primarily dealt with happenings in the core of the metro area, which are of little interest.

Just hand over your money forever and they'll stop complaining.
- jeegsy 7y agoThats an interesting take. It never even occurred to me. You are right, if you really want to know about the local stuff, you can. You might have to work a little bit more but most of the info is out there already.
