> Here's the thing, local news produces cookie cutter stories and just swaps out the basic facts and injects a little of the mainstream narrative into everything. There really isn't any value in it, which is why they are dying in the first place. Does your "local news" not cover your local area at all? I highly doubt that. If it does cover your local area at all, there is historical value to it. It doesn't matter if the stories are cookie cutter or not.
