Declining Margins in Ads
The local news have faced declining advertisements in recession hit industries, much as the rest of the world. No business means no adverts. The daily ads are always used by wide ranging organisations for their announcements and it cost much less. However if moved to the cheapest, which is internet and email based, revenues could be lost due to the inability to collects fees or tax them.
