I’m so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.
Like, read every sentence in every story of each day’s newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.

I get my county’s rural, local newspaper. The stories are all relevant to my personal experience and typically quite well written. Local politics, goings on and such. It’s nice to have a little piece of life in the 80s back.
You are lucky tbh. So many “local” newspapers are owned by giant corporations. Here in Canada we even have a boatload that are owned by those same American corporations. I helps push narratives among people who are more likely to be isolated or disenfranchised and it works really well.
Our “Der Sonntag” is owned by Badische Zeitung which is owned by Poppen & Ortmann, a company in Freiburg. No US owner.
