What's the population of all these US counties? I have to ask because a county (just like a US state) is an imperfect organizational unit, so there are counties with 500 people and counties with 2 million people. You're not going to find a competitive news market in the former. A "local news source" in a market that small can mean a single person with an agenda running a blog, which is probably worse than Nextdoor.
