As seen on the Lost Remote website, GateHouse Media has launched an entirely new online only newspaper called, The Batavian, for the small town of Batavia, New York. Another example of the innovative online only craze is the New Haven Independent, which covers the city of New Haven.
I believe the online-only system for newspapers can definitely work, for both a small town area as well as a larger city. The Batavian covers a small town, which works well because residents can easily access concentrated local coverage instead of waiting for a weekly edition of a print paper. Larger online papers can also work, as seen with the New Haven Independent, because there is so much more going on and, therefore, more chances to find stories. Lastly, in this technological era, most people are going to have computers and most readers get their news via laptops at work, so an online only paper is becoming more logical.
