Alan Mutter thinks this year may see the end of two-newspaper towns:
Although there aren’t many two-newspaper towns left in the United States, the few remaining No. 2 papers are the least likely to get out of 2009 alive.
While we would think about Melbourne and Sydney as our two-newspaper towns, in regional Australia there are plenty more with strong local dailies. From the data I see, the local newspapers seem to be faring the best. This supports overseas trends - local is better, people like to read about themsleves and their own baackyard.
Newsagencies are local businesses yet we do not embrace this as well as we could.
