Leo most of the local TV stations have quite a bit of local news on their sites, I think the papers were late in coming around to the online age so they can't generate the advertising dollars to make it profitable.
Our local paper is fading fast, they POed me so bad years ago that I quit them, they lost a lot of customers when they started printing anti-gun stuff, then add current situations and well, lets just say last I knew you could buy a share of their stock for about 60 cents.
Funny thing they waste their money every Wend. by littering my front yard with a free copy, I have to go pick the dang thing up out of my yard and toss it. Checked, can't get them ticketed for littering.
Heck, my phone carries the local news via the local TV station and I can get a weather radar too.
