I think local newspapers are better placed to survive than national ones. Round here they send photographers to every community event and people love seeing themselves/relatives/friends/enemies in print. Also district court proceedings esp involving drunks can make for great unintended comedy.

Presumably this paper is aiming to be mostly funded by advertising because their subscription target is only €72K p.a. and they have a staff of 7.

I wish you were right, but for the past 20 or so years, national media has been less decimated.

That surprises me, I'd thought the drop in circulations was less severe at the local level.

I wish，but the news is just a another example of increasing monopolization in America. Economies of scale are a powerful tool against a shrinking market.
