People actually want articles relevant to their city or neighborhood?
What a concept! 
I’ve noticed a trend in local news reported on broadcast stations in my market: less and less local news. Instead, the stations run content with a national interest acquired from corporate overlords. These stations have always given preferential treatment to the cities closest to their studios, and I get it. Thats where the population center lies. Living on the far outskirts of this metro area means that our local coverage has gone from dreary to dismal.
