We've lived in a popular tourist area in coastal South Carolina for the past 14 years and print journalism is exemplified by our local daily newspaper.
When we moved here full time in 2011 it was robust. Lots of pages, full-sized like the Courant (as I remember it), full of local stories plus national and international news, etc. Also lots of pull out ads and coupons.
It cost something like $60 per quarter in 2011 and was up to almost $200 per quarter when my wife said it was too ridiculous to pay that much as it had shrunken in size, pages and the content was a few local stories about some political issue or car accident and mostly wire service generic features like what color kitchen cabinets are being featured this Spring.
We still get the Sunday edition at $5.99 but it's shrinking to the point where we're not going to buy it anymore either.
They are in a death spiral and don't know how to get out of it.
Meanwhile, a local weekly is full of ads and lots of local stories and features. It can be done but this operation, run by a major national corporation, will soon be gone.
