I have no idea if this translates across the pond, but over here what's been happening is the newspapers that were around in the 80s and 90s and died in the 2000s and 2010s left a bunch of unemployed journalists around. Occasionally, a handful of the brave ones will come together to start up a new news outlet, usually with a much smaller and more casual scope than the outlets they left. Some succeed, some don't, but that's where we're at right now. I try to support the ones I like. As for how to find them, it's largely social media & word of mouth, and maybe some advertising if they pitch it just right. Maybe poke around the social media accounts for some journalists from local outlets you do know about and see if they have some links to new places you haven't heard of. (I don't know if it's just a language thing, but I definitely wouldn't call these outlets "newspapers." Certainly there's no print component to any of these.)
