Local journalism is unfortunately effectively dead in this country, primarily because people got used to free news on the internet, and so stopped subscribing to papers. As papers closed or consolidated, their new private equity owners got rid of more and more journalists, making the papers worse. This accelerated the process, and now the only effective papers are the giant ones, but even they are shells of their former selves.
Journalism is basically dead, and we as a society are already paying for it. All because people didn't want to pay for people to actually do the jobs of reporting/investigating. Like in many other areas, it turns out that the internet was a giant mistake.
