It is the small local newspapers I need most. Anything in a big paper that is important to me I will see online. What is going on down the street is important to me, but not important to anyone who doesn't live within a couple blocks of me. Should my city replace their expensive pumps in the water plant or not - you don't live in my city so you don't care, I care because it is a choice between me able to water my garden or a cheaper water bill but water rationing. (I live in an area where there is plenty of water it just needs to be pumped)
