Local News Journalism: We’re Not Your Savior; We’re Just Keeping the Seat Warm
Saratoga Springs deserves great local ‘news & analysis’ styles of journalism; both long form and short. Hell, simply good would work. Unfortunately, it isn’t getting any of it. Not even close.
Its traditional paper of record is dead in the water, staffed at 10% while its out-of-town corporate owner sucks the little cash flow out of it as possible.
The supposed competitor is basically a weekly ‘shopper’ style publication, not much different than the litter-box refills one receives in the mail and filled with mostly glorified press releases from the local businesses it trades stories for advertising with.
The rest of the Spa City’s media universe is either glossy magazines extolling its glorious TV-like lifestyle or digital versions doing pretty much the same. “Look, it’s another fundraiser, people! Now, ya wanna buy a house?”
