Honestly a lot of the work of local newspapers are picked up by our local television stations. Last week my partner and I found a dead man wearing nothing but his undies in our parking lot. He froze to death the night before. So we called the police and got him picked up and later that night saw a news story on a local station's website saying that man's family was looking for him. We called their police department and the next day he was confirmed to be their dad who was suffering from dementia. The poor guy probably thought he was at home so he took off all his clothes and laid down. I'm sure his family would have found out eventually but that local news station helped us get the news to them quicker. The only thing that bothers me at the moment is how little power local news has to really investigate corruption or wrongdoing by local and state level officials. Like that Roy Moore scandal.
