Local sites movin’ on up
A little bit of horn-blowing for one of my other hats. Did a report for Borrell Associates about how the local space is heating up: Newspapers even in so-called destination cities (places people want to travel to) have largely ignored the tourism market, and a lot of other sites are picking off that revenue.
Meanwhile, a lot of hyper-locals are nibbling from another direction. And you’ve got the Googles and Craigslists trying to eat the main portion of the newspapers’ lunches. What newspapers won’t survive? How long before we see one or two newspapers in single-newspaper cities go under?
