Jeff Jarvis posts a prescription for local news dailies. He suggests cutting out the following:

Stock tables
National business news
Local business news
Personal finance
Critics
TV Listings
Movie Listings
Entertainment listings
Sports columnists
National sports coverage
Sports agate
Comics
Syndicated advice columns
Food, home, fashion coverage
National and international news

“But what’s left?” you ask.

Answer: local news and politics. The improved coverage of which, Jarvis suggests, will actually make a difference in peoples’ lives . . .

Hmmmmmmm.
