Yeah, I can’t argue with that, it’s a shame :(

All the more reason to subscribe to independently owned ones if they’re available to keep them afloat :)

No specific recommendations, but I highly recommend following your local news orgs assuming you don’t live in a news desert.

The goal of big news companies is to get clicks for that delicious ad revenue and they don’t care about how predatory that is towards you.

Local news is much more community focused in my experience
