I don't see local news media as likely to find a way to operate without at least some advertising revenue at any time in the next decade, at least.

I pay to support some ad-free journalistic endeavors, but I also pay to support a local newspaper that is the ONLY thing keeping tabs on our city council, county officials and so on. Pro Publica is great and even the Intercept has its moments, but neither of them are coming to my town or county and doing that local work.
