Do local newspapers have an advantage of local news media?

[blue_dott13]

I think so. local newspapers cover more stories in your area where as the local news just makes points and covers stories based on a more popular topic and the ones that would stand out more.

but there must be disadvantages. as anything liek this does. so whats your views?

I believe that newspapers have an advantage because they employ more writers and investigators to write stories. Often, larger newspapers will conduct long investigations and/or write long series with more detail than what can be covered on the local news broadcast. I often will see a story on the TV and be left with more questions so I open the paper and BAM! - answers.
In my opinion, the smart people are those at the newspapers and the (sometimes) pretty ones who can read a teleprompter are on TV. Who do you trust?
