I listened to that podcast as well. I think the hyper local paper is quite strong now, but much media seems to migrating towards "sides" which is concerning. What's left is being consumed by national outlets like @Gannett, etc. Podcasts, ironically, are also part of this mix.
Unsubscribe to your local paper & it shrinks & few thus pay attention to goings-on (like if a 2nd gr teacher left classroom sans chaperone)? Your city’s bond rating takes a hit. I’d say “mind blown” but it’s common sense. As a J school grad & fmr journo — pay 2 pass the paywall.https://twitter.com/HiddenBrain/status/1072324379399348224 …
