NOTE -
Raymore Journal went out of business 1+ years ago, which paused the local news stories. The digital assets were transferred to the online support firm to offset some of the outstanding debt.

Trends for local newspapers include evolving to a Community Blog, in which students can write and cover local sports and accolades… and municipalities can submit updates from the city council. Advertising remains the primary source of revenue (retail, classifieds, job openings, obituaries, paid content).
