They have been bought up by larger groups, and often do not reflect the ethos of the communities they serve.

They have become increasingly conservative. Often, editorials are written by the owners and not the local journalists.

I would like to see my views reflected in our local papers.

I still subscribe to some local newspapers, because I do need to know about the activities in my community and my area.
