 We came upon the Patch edition for Huntington, Long Island, N.Y., in surfing this morning and, Wow!, here's how digital can readily replace, or become, local newspapers. Providing there's a Patch editor for a given area who wants to do the work. We don't know how all that works, whether there's pay involved (must be), etc., but we can easily imagine residents turning to their local Patch each morning , or throughout the day, to check on what's doing. PR people (like us) who don't know about Patch, should. There are more than 1,000 editions nationally already.
