Like our national news used to be like.
And they do a better job of educated the public with factual info, even if it is boring stuff about things at City Hall, ect.
If they could incorporate the good things about local news – facts, much less opinion, no right v left talking heads to 'duke it out' segments, no sensationalism and drama. solid news.
A few weeks ago I saw a video on youtube of the death of JFK and Cronkite reporting it. There were others on the side of Abc and Nbc reporting it as well and I looked at it.
that was news that was solid, trusted and factual. You could trust those guys to tell you what was going on with anything. You knew they were solid journalists and did not do anything to pump up drama or sensationalism or make the news into infotainment.
It had real substance and looking at other news from the era, they truly educated the public and gave people substance.
If our news media was like that now, maybe we would not be talking about the death of newspapers and journalism would not be the joke it is today.

Then a little local news.
Then weather.
Then sports.
Then “fluff” to keep people happy.

So no…no journalism being done by local news.
