Just curious as I've been reading a lot about this lately between a debate raging on a local newspaper's forum about the local paper's decline and from Facebook posts from a childhood friend who's a night editor for a big city paper.
I actually created a poll I can't answer in a straight forward manner myself. There's a local 2x weekly, delivered by mail paper that covers the west part of our county where I live that we have gotten for 10 years now and I don't anticipate dropping that. The regular newspaper for our area we dropped a few years back because of rapidly declining quality. Most of the content was rehashed stuff from the AP I read anywhere from 8-72 hours ago online and there was way too little local reporting. We also get the Toledo Blade which does almost as good a job covering our local news but I'd like to drop that or at least cut back to Sunday only--most daily editions go straight to recycling and the only reason I know of that we get it is that my wife wants the Sunday coupons and ads. I would actually read it except that anything important I've read online by the time the physical paper gets in the house.
