It's a lot harder to get unbiased news if you solely rely on volunteers.

Can you imagine getting your news from a version of Richard Stallman.

There is no such thing as "unbiased" and there is nothing wrong with biased news as long as the reader is aware of the bias.

There is nothing wrong about biased news if there is a variety of biases available. I think for local news the risk is very high that a small group of volunteers can capture almost all reporting and push only their biases.
