Local journalists are much better in reporting today than big media. And it is actually the local news that matter much more. Mainstream media has lost its reputation by choosing which news to amplify, reporting incorrectly and not correcting properly, and overruling their journalists.
Local news is no better because "local news" barely exists anymore. Sure, you may see the local journos in your area talking about community interests, etc, but anything outside of that most localized of content is being controlled by large parent companies that own all of the smaller news agencies.
