Our local paper put up a paywall so subscriptions help subsidize the reporting along with the advertising. I'm sure it's a losing battle but you don't get into local news for the money.

The problem with that is it reduces the visibility of public news even further. You can have a pulitzer prize winning report onto council corruption, but if only 50 people read it it doesn't really matter.
