Has media consolidation by a handful of large corporations impacted local journalism? Yes. Local news coverage in my community has deceased.
Yes. News content has given way to opinion pieces and biased coverage.
No. While newspapers like the T&G cover less the rise of smaller niche publications and blogs give us more total news overall.
