Obviously the more local content you can generate the better. Local angle news is what will keep print alive if anything. People have to have something to read to justify the paper and make the ads work. Ads will have to integrate print and online in my opinion.

The threats to print and long-form journalism are these: market saturation, which dilutes not just audiences, but advertisers; high overhead; craigslist; local search; babies being born right now.
[More blah]
Low overhead, readership, and space to sell are the buds of new life on the tree of journalism. The beauty of online writers is that they don’t have to be in-house. They don’t have to cost the publisher money in travel fees, if the publisher has successfully employed bloggers (okay, you might call them reporters, now) around the world, right near the action.
