In my small city the paper is part of the Gannet group, so it reflects the Gannet style, format and philosophy. Most of the content is touchy-feely consciousness-raising stuff, artsy lifestyle and cultural stuff, or drum-beating for whatever cause is trending at the moment. The use of photos is rarely used to depict the actuality of whatever event occurred, but to demonstrate the photographer's artistic skill in capturing the "mood" or "essence" of the moment---a ground-level view of an accident scene, for instance, wherein the only things visible are grass in the foreground with an out-of-focus crumpled bicycle in the background.
Their policy regarding local hard news is, "If the TV channels covered it, it never happened." Case in point: Back last spring a cattle truck rolled over on one of our main traffic arteries---two two-lanes divided by a median. The cattle that weren't killed were bleeding and bawling, and some were loose outside. An embankment made it very difficult to extract the cattle, so the operation took all day, with traffic being diverted to lengthy detours around the area. The newspaper never mentioned a word of it, as the TV channels had reported it the evening before.
Even so, I subscribe to the thing, mainly for the obituaries, the crossword and the funnies.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
