Priorities

What's more important: a retired teacher being thanked by the school (when she'd already had a story about her career a few months ago), a fishing tournament, a woman writing about her cat, or a news story about how the mayor just won his spot back by acclamation and there are 6 candidates fighting over 5 town council spots?

Clearly in a local paper with a local focus town elections don't matter. Afterall, who would want to read that?

I seriously had to argue for the elections story to go in.

If I hadn't already given my notice...

i'm ashamed to concur regards the elections.

much as i would like to prefer my news light and airy, my predilection will always turn towards the hard, be it news, or otherwise.

boom. boom.
