Do local newspapers have an advantage of local news media?

Question

I think so. local newspapers cover more stories in your area where as the local news just makes points and covers stories based on a more popular topic and the ones that would stand out more.

but there must be disadvantages. as anything liek this does. so whats your views?

Answer 1

I believe that newspapers have an advantage because they employ more writers and investigators to write stories. Often, larger newspapers will conduct long investigations and/or write long series with more detail than what can be covered on the local news broadcast.  I often will see a story on the TV and be left with more questions so I open the paper and BAM! - answers.  

In my opinion, the smart people are those at the newspapers and the (sometimes) pretty ones who can read a teleprompter are on TV.  Who do you trust?

Answer 2

I agree with you but there is a generation coming up that don't read the newspaper, and in the not to distant future I believe newspapes will really fade out. There are just two many other sources out there that you can get on the run that will put the newspaper out of business. People just don't take the time to really stop and read anymore.
