The simple fact that we read online sites indicates an expanding interest. We seem to have a fascination with the very local or the global -- blogs and personal content on one hand and reportage that helps us make sense of these trends. Anything in the middle ... anything that does not remain relevant to us, just fades away. The way that we engage with and consume online media is changing the world of publishing.

But beyond covering the local city commission, they should also be the authoritive one stop for all kinds of local info such as events, restaurant, shopping, tourist stops, etc. They also need to take more steps toward growing a online community. Newspapers already let Craigslist take a good bite out of classifieds. If they don't devote the resources and technology into making themselves relevant to their own community, others will take bigger bites. “Local” sites like Philly can’t compete on national/world news like the big 3 you list, so they focus more on local news.
