Can’t honestly say I know anyone outside of my parents who reads the newspaper. Sounds like the newspaper is dying, not local news that has shifted to be digital.

>local news that has shifted to be digital.
Our local newspaper has a few actual journalists reporting on what is happening in government at city, county and state level. Just a few since all the layoffs. Sports is hanging on, but has been taken over by The Athletic.
Real journalism concerning business, arts and suburb cities is gone. The only time it is legitimately covered is if it is being covered elsewhere by local TV stations.
The newspaper website is a malignant entity infecting everyone with trackers and ads.
They are attempting video, but it lacks the content and production of even a mildly successful youtube creator.
I still subscribe to the digital product to help support the remaining journalists.
Still need journalists though, even for digital.
