The local paper around these parts charges about 4x what I'm paying for a high quality national paper. I'd pay a little more for local (economies of scale pretty much guarantee their marginal costs are higher) but not that much more. Especially because even at that higher price it's still filled to the brim with advertising and copies of news from other sources.
