Frankly, a lot of local newspaper sites are looking more and more cookie cutter. You will see that many papers use very similar CMS systems & their national news is almost identical. They are also plastered with ads as well. They do have defining local content though, but their national coverage is generic and usually outsourced. I am not sure I would rank the quality of some of their pages as being better than a content farm that got their info from the same source.
