How many areas still have local news services?

"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Doesn't that depend on whether one's local council is rural, or whether it is a municipal council, within a much larger metropolis?
What qualifies an area as rural?

How many trees, broad pastures, koalas, kangaroos, cattle, sheep, & paddocks do you think should be used as a measure between houses, to determine how rural an area is?
Which countries would this measuring system apply to?

Would the measurements be in metric units?

Were there more than one kind of metric measurement?

Have you ever heard of such measurements, metric or not, as: "As the Crow flies", or place names such as Woop Woop, At the back o'Bourke, or Somewhere in the Sticks?
Aren't those types of measures rather ambiguous?

Wasn't it usual for those cooking dinner to use such measurements as a cup of this, a pinch of that, a tad of the other & a skerrick of the whatever?
Is there an infographic that explains these cooking measurements?

Would the people who used such measurements actually know what an "infographic" is?
How would we find out?
