Local Journalism Is Dying

TPM
Town By Town, Local Journalism Is Dying In Plain Sight"More than 1,400 other cities and towns across the U.S. to lose a newspaper over the past 15 years, according to an Associated Press"

I find most of my local information from social media sites such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook and so forth. As do the local paper and TV reporters I suspect. As far as radio-- forget about them entirely.

I wish it weren't so but let's face it paid professional investigative journalists are a dying breed. The best we can hope for are leaks to the internet from inside sources. Other information from people when they feel wronged. Not exactly a great way to provide unbiased oversight.
