How are local news orgs doing in your area, & how do you keep up with local news? - eviltoast

Personally, I find it kind of difficult to follow local (i.e. town/city) news in my area, so I’m curious if others elsewhere are experiencing similar, or if you’ve had better luck somehow.

Part of this I think may be self-inflicted on my end, as I don’t really watch televised news nor use corporate social media, but even when I have skimmed over those, they tended to cover larger cities & broader areas instead.

Edit:
Btw, you don’t need to mention news orgs/sites you follow that might give away your location, I’m just curious about the general state of local news for you, e.g. whether they’re still around via newspaper/website or if you’ve also found yourself in an awkward limbo where it’s larger cities/region news over your own immediate area.

    There is a small local newsletter style that reports business news, then the rest is just social events. I listen to the police scanner for crime reports bc none of the local news talks about it. This is a tourist town .
