Television
Opt-outs of local television news are frequent before, during, or after national evening news television programming. Often, television networks can also commission or make provisions for their local stations to produce longer standalone local news programmes. In some cases, local television markets/viewing areas within a country may even have a dedicated 24-hour local news channel. Local news stations have also started covering less and less local politics in favor of stories that they believe will garner more clicks or attention. A study has also shown that there has also been less investigative journalism within local news stations in recent years. Differences
Local news largely covers the following: local sports
local crime and justice
local weather
local business and economy
local events
local education
local politics
local traffic updates (especially during morning newscasts)
National and international news, however, tend to cover a wider range of content, including news concerning specialized institutions of wide-ranging international power or influence, such as: (inter)national political and intergovernmental events
stock markets
(inter)national sports competitions
regional environmental events
media/entertainment events
science/technology events
air traffic/aviatory transport events
defense/security events
Practices in each country
In the United States, local news is provided on local commercial broadcasting channels (some of which are television network affiliates ).
