@whylamb unsurprisingly I think it takes a grassroots movement of a few people who want to take on the issue full time and a few thousand who are happy to chip in to make it work, ie subscribers, distrubitors and those all important advertisers.

There are a couple of examples where there's a local paper competing against the murdoch press to provide actual local news. Check out:

@bikepedantic @davidzipper This is the whole point! To bring pedestrian safety issues to the fore. We all know what most DoTs/Cities are usually prioritising: road widenings, resurfacing, etc. I think I get your point, but generally speaking pedestrians include the most marginalised people in a community so raising their profile should be a good thing?
