Depends on your definition of Local. Most City newspapers are owned by conglomerates, the Orlando Sentinel is part of the Chicago Tribune and as a result is bankrupt.

As for the local newspapers that aren't part of the bigger machines, yes they should fair just fine so long as they keep costs down and adopt to the online markets available to them.
