The Local Paper Is More Interesting…
Author: siggyThe local paper is more interesting to me than the Sunday regional paper. The accounts in the first paper are more personal. Sometimes they are about people I know. Other times the articles revolve around regions I am familiar with.
The news is more relevant to me. I can’t always identify with the articles I read Sunday. Sometimes the writing in the regional paper is too generic. I want to read about news that affects me.
I live in a county that until recently had no red light. Now it has one. And that was news in the “Sun”, the local paper. There is too much news in the “Patriot News” I just don’t care about.
Of course, the “Patriot News” has its place. Lately, though, the Sunday paper just collects dust. And I don’t miss it but I do “The Sun” when I don’t read it.
It only takes five or ten minutes to read but it is news I am always interested in. It is always more personal.
