  1. “rely less on local reporters and more on USA Today-type stories produced or edited remotely”… this is basically what they have been doing for the last 5 years.

  2. I already subscribe for print and digital to New York Times and digitally to others, and have stayed with the Indianapolis Star for at least some local reporting – but that has dwindled to almost nothing the last few years. If more local reporters are axed, there will be no need to continued that subscription at all.
