If you count the number of unique names for reporters in the daily paper, you would likely be hard pressed to fill a minibus. Local journalism relies on "boots on the ground" to tell our stories.

Yeah, I agree. Local journalism is important, also for keeping our politicians to account. I'm disappointed that they won't have a newsroom anymore. There are a lot of jobs that don't require a common office, but I don't think this is one of them.
