Media in the late 20th century is technology driven.

1. Continental broadcasting (national in the US and Canada) need good communications links. These are probably not available in the post TDM time frame.

As was noted, it is likely that direct wire routes survived - but some of these may be commandeered by various governments if more tech systems cease to be available. Or, simply to have ample control of the dissemination of information...

2. Television and radio are only useful in locations/areas with widespread power available. TVs are of little value if there is no power available for viewers to run them. Cities with limited power availability will probably have their broadcast hours adjusted. Those without, will have.... no broadcast media.

Radio may have a longer reach; radio receivers can run off a smallish set of batteries - TVs need more power to make that cathode ray tube shine.

3. Newspaper are lower tech, as has been pointed out. You don't need much for a small "newspaper." There are existing (and plans for) mechanically driven presses, as well as ditto machines and mimeogrpahs (still sitting in storage rooms in schools all across America. And that will be fine until the paper runs out.

I would imagine that local/regional news will take a larger portion of coverage in any location, simply because the ability to disseminate information over distance is diminished.

You also have more of an interest for local news, as local news will be more likely to have an immediate effect (for good or ill).

Or so I think, anyway.

Fox News started in October, 1996, to a mere 10 million households, and was not available in New York or Los Angeles.

One can make a case that if they aggressively began to cover the NATO invasion, Fox News's popularity might have risen faster.

Until cable systems are destroyed by TDM.
