Local News Papers were a lot cheaper, plus you got news that no one else was reporting. In most cases the news was balanced back then. Go to a Library and see

  Oh, I'm old enough to remember the days when we were all subscribing to the local newspaper. I'm still thinking about subscribing to our local paper, but last time I checked it was just too expensive, taking into account that all the news I need will get to me by social media, TV, email, or text message.

    My local paper is about 9% local crime stories, 1% local politics stories, and 90% AP story reprints. For that, they want $10/mo for the online product or $20/mo for a 4x a week delivery of a dead trees product. AP will give me 90% of that for free and unedited. The other 10% I can find through other channels or is of no interest to me.
