I believe local news tends to be a more 'news' and a bit less 'narrative'.

I also believe that the more local the news is, the more relatable.

From Canada, I can get PBS/NPR Vermont, and the sheer quaintness of the local issues from Burlington Vt. I mean it feels like going back in time but in a good way. 'The New Playhouse' opened up, the 'Fireworks Display Will Be Here' etc. - it's the complete opposite of Cable news and Twitter, which is incendiary and ideological.

National narrative news satisfied an ostensible intellectual aspect of our orientation, but I'm not sure it's useful in the magnitude we consume it.
