The stories might have a lag time over television and other media, but a good local paper can provide details and breadth of coverage that is relevant in a way national media can't. That's why I make it a point to support good local newspapers, which often are more fair than the national media or larger papers.

Disclosure: I used to be the editor of a local newspaper. (See, we ain't all bad guys! BTW, I know there are other FReepers who are also editors, and I know they'd love your support in staving off the larger, liberal papers!) :-)

There are things that can be done in newspapers and magazines that cannot be done in broadcast media and cannot be done as well online.

However many single paper cities are poorly served.
