Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 4:01pm on Sunday, August 30th, 2009 | The Providence Journal newspaper is taking an "ultra-local" approach to the news, David Scharfenberg wrote in the Providence Phoenix on August 26, 2009:
"There may, in the end, be no way to save the American metropolitan newspaper. Plummeting advertising revenue and competition from the Internet often seem forces too daunting for even the savviest of publishers.
But in the last couple of years, broadsheets from Boston to Denver to San Francisco have settled on a single strategy: go local.
Glance at the cover of any major newspaper, outside a handful with national audiences, and you'll find roughly the same thing — a single wire service story out of Washington or Baghdad surrounded by missives on the latest murder, City Hall intrigue, and statewide unemployment figure.
Here in Rhode Island, the Providence Journal has taken the trend to its logical conclusion — moving all of its local coverage to the front section of the paper and banishing the national and international news, save for a front-page story or two, to a second section dubbed projoNation."
