I’m so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

Like, read every sentence in every story of each day’s newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.

    You are lucky tbh. So many “local” newspapers are owned by giant corporations. Here in Canada we even have a boatload that are owned by those same American corporations. I helps push narratives among people who are more likely to be isolated or disenfranchised and it works really well.
