Those days are gone when reporters and journalists need to collect reports using expensive cameras and reach the office, submit their coverage reports and wait for publishing. But, now people just collect their news and upload their content with the help of the internet to the main office. From there, all kinds of coverages get published.

Traditional Newsrooms are no more Important
Reporters and Journalists of today do not need traditional newsrooms for editing and publishing news reports. With the emergence of online news portals and publishing opportunities, people are publishing all types of news and most of them are related to local issues. Setting up a newsroom at a large expense is no more important.
Importance of Local News
The emergence of online-based news portals has reduced the requirements of paper-based news distributions. Hence, many of the newspaper companies are struggling to keep them in the race. But, people are not deprived of local news. All thanks to the web-based local news portals that are constantly publishing local incidents and issues to us, making us aware of those things.
Most of the time, news from the local level is often ignored as journalists and reporters give more priority to national and international level news. Some regional news TV channels cover a few reports, but these are not enough. There are many issues and problems that people face in their particular area. If those things are ignored, then others especially authorities wouldn't be able to know about them. Hence, these local-level issues wouldn't be solved.
Conclusion
The disappearance of local newspapers has created a void in our life. It impacted us politically, socially, economically, and democratically also. In a democratic country, none can deny the significance of the news and reports.
The press is known as the 4th pillar of Democracy. But, nowadays the press may have become obsolete or the thing of the past. Now, the position has been taken by internet-based news publishers that provide both local and global level news reports. This is why they matter.
