southern MN | About a decade ago most of the small weekly papers around here got bought up and combined to ‘save them.’ and got a couple pages of syndicated National unimportant old news, the staff were cut to maybe one person, maybe the office was closed completely. Pretty much no local news left any more, a generic opinion page that covers the whole region.
Younger folk don’t care about a paper, and older folk don’t see any value in whatever this has evolved into because there isn’t anything local left, so they are dying at an accelerated pace. The few that are still run locally with a dedicated local person are fading away much more slowly.
But really there isn’t much advertising dollar left for print media, so even with a decent circulation there isn’t much revenue left to gather.

They had "doh" moments a hundred years ago.
