local newspapers
Town's printed news
Local newspapers are publications covering news, events, and issues specific to a city, town, or region rather than national or international affairs.
They typically report on municipal government, local sports, school boards, and community happenings.
Once the backbone of American journalism, local newspapers have declined sharply as advertising moved online: The local newspaper stopped printing and went digital-only.
