I forgot my book and there was a local newspaper in the waiting room. 50 % of the paper were photographs of local people doing social things (e.g. a bar mitzvah, someone going on vacation etc). The crime report was so trivial, I cant believe it was reported. a five dollar off mailing coupon was stolen from a mailbox. Another 25% of the paper are real estate and insurance agents smiling in front of a sold sign or a life insurance policy.
What was the headline in your local newpaper. Chandler ( a private school) Dad's take on 8th grade basketball team was the highlight of mine. There were approximately 3 pages of photographs of people in a golf tournament.
I just thought the Outpost might like to know this crap.

Meh, you got an a-typical day.
Local papers are great for reporting on town business, local politics and schooling issues. But that stuff doesn't happen everyday.
That said, I don't see how it's all that different then the national media. So far, you've decribed:
a) Entertainment News
b) Crime Reports
c) Sports
d) Advertising
I'm sure if we had the full topic listing, we could add:
e) Politics
f) Light Humor
g) Opinions\Letters to the editor
Doesn't sound all that different from any newspaper. It's just not as glamorous.

I dropped the Newspaper over 20 years ago. Why pay for paper when you have the internet?
