Portlandia spoofs online journalism in a new sketch where an online publisher focused on aggregating links takes over a local news outlet.

Newscastic asks, “Though it’s hilarious, is the Portlandia clip a cautionary tale for local journalism? Without finding a sustainable business model will local news resort to Top 10 lists and links? Let’s hope not.”
