Having worked at a daily newspaper that's now a shadow of its former self, my thoughts are it would depend on the paper. Some papers are shedding all sorts of local coverage. I'd say find the nearest local paper that's doing a decent job and stick with that. But subscribing to a digital paper (I get the NYT and WashPost because of the situation in Washington) isn't really a bad thing, either. You're supporting true (as opposed to fake Fox News) journalism.
