No one is willing to pay for local journalism when every site will copy your story as soon as it breaks.
Great, that puts it on-par with the status quo.
The problem is the free services can't exist without the originators. The originators can't exist without revenue. If the journalists who are actually writing the pieces as opposed to copying them don't get paid the whole thing falls apart.
That's when the current originators fall and newer, more intelligent ones take their place.
No. It's when clickbait and fake news crafted for engagement over truth takes their place.
