Are city newsletters still a thing?

I mean the type of daily newsletter that sums up local news, fun activities, family-friendly stuff, maybe weather, etc.

Those seemed to enjoy a bit of a moment in 2024-25 and I'm wondering whether that ship has sailed.

When I try to research that market, I always wind up on a Youtube or Skool page where some guru is selling an "AI does it for you" newsletter course, which makes me think the market is already saturated.
