There is disagreement over whether such pooling arrangements will homogenize local news coverage or will enhance it. The stations all argue it will help each station reinforce coverage by allowing more signature reporting. However, most of the stations engaged in pooling have already cut their staffs to the bone due to loss of advertising. Declining revenues, fractured audiences and the continuing need to reduce costs have many stations cornered. Partnerships, content-sharing and outsourcing are not surprising solutions to such economic problems. Though pooling vehicles like LNS could work, as cost pressure continues to bear down on station executive,s it would be easy for LNS to turn into a way for member stations to reduce newsroom personnel and other staff. This is the big fear, and big unknown, of content sharing.
