second that

Several years ago (maybe more than a few) FLS contacted me with a survey asking how I’d feel about switching from an evening paper to a morning paper along with what kind of news would interest me.

My answer was that a morning paper is find as long as they covered the news the day and night before …. so now we have folks like Amy working late at BOS meetings to make deadline.

and  I may be a minority but I think the community wants and needs a local news – newspaper.

The FLS is one reason why we do have a sense of place… despite the fact that we have a ton of commuters .. and many are transient rather than generational residents.

It would, in my view, be a distinct loss to the community and region not have FLS…

yes we have blogs… but no blogger that I know of is going to attending virtually each and every BOS meeting and give a rundown the next day.

By the way. I’ disappointed that we did not have more candidate forums… many people that I know have asked who is running and what are their positions and we’re apparently not going to have more than one forum… very disappointing…

I believe that the FLS, and all other local newspapers, should specialize in local reporting.  We get national and international news from so many other options, that it is a waste of paper and ink to regurgitate it in a local paper.  End the reprinting of wire articles, and start writing about the impact of national and international events on our community.  Apply close scrutiny to local government, business, community groups, etc., and make sure we know what’s going on locally and why and how.  Otherwise you are just competing with better-equipped competitors.
