Local News
Finding local news can be challenging! A huge trend in the last couple of decades is the decline of local news so if you feel like it's hard to find the local stories, you're not wrong! I've linked to some of the significant local news sources below.
Remember, you don't always need to find a source that deals with your local issue. For example, if I'm writing about the Lloyd Center as a ruin, an article that looks at the decline of shopping malls generally or that looks at an urban shopping mall in a different city could be an excellent source for your paper.
