A study from Rebuild Local News found that the lack of journalism in communities results in increased costs “in the form of higher taxes or cuts in services.”
I personally look at it as folks are consuming in a completely different manner then when the Elm leaves had on staff journalists.
If I recall correctly it ended direct because folks were just not consuming news I. That manner. I am sure you can find the archives of when this happened.
But as much as I can disagree with things on here I do appreciate this formatt as it is important for that exact reason paper media is just not a thing any more.
It ended because a corporation called the Tribune Media Group took over and later merged with Nexstar. Management no longer prioritized assigning reporters to regularly cover many of the suburbs. And to be clear, this study considered the fact that a digital news site could take the place of a newspaper that shut down (for example, Harvey World in Harvey, IL). —Kevin Gosztola
