'der Anzeiger' and 'die Lokalzeitung' can both mean a newspaper from a city or region. A 'Lokalzeitung' mainly reports on local news, politics, events, and people in the area. An 'Anzeiger' often contains especially many advertisements, official notices, and short news items. The words can be confused because some regional newspapers are called 'Anzeiger'. If you are speaking generally about local reporting, 'Lokalzeitung' usually sounds more natural. 'Anzeiger' sounds more specific when it is about a particular newspaper with advertisements or announcements.
In der Lokalzeitung habe ich gelesen, dass das Schwimmbad wieder öffnet.

Im Anzeiger stehen diese Woche viele Wohnungen zur Miete.
