Here in Texas the Community Impact newspaper has been growing with a monthly print edition. They serve local content with multiple editions per city. ~50% of the content is broader city related and ~50% specific to the suburb / neighborhood. I find it incredibly helpful to keep up with local govt, business development, etc.

It's free and ships via mail monthly. I never signed up, it simply shows up. Their website[1] says they currently publish 40+ distinct editions across Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio.

I have no idea how their finances work, but they seemingly found a model that could possibly be duplicated elsewhere.

For one thing I think advertisers get the same amount of value out of an ad in a weekly that they get in a daily.
