Running a daily newspaper in London should really be about as difficult as running a piss-up in a brewery, Internet or not. However:

Now, the Standard was never a good paper even in the 90s or 00s, but London needs a good daily. Obviously, it was damaged by the pandemic, but even before then it had been run into the ground, and stupid decisions had been made, e.g. turning it into a freesheet. You need a good business model to pay reporters, and I very much doubt the Internet will ever deliver this.
