    Yet I've worked for an SE and ME who tried. Thankfully, not the case now and wasn't at my last stop. At one stop, I think they were so amazed to be relevant to someone that those people got pretty much whatever they wanted. Having a clueless publisher of a family-owned newspaper who knew less than nothing about sports attempt to chime in didn't help. ::)

    I think Shotglass was saying weeklies don't use national news because it wouldn't be relevant to a weekly readership, rather than criticizing their ablilty. Which raises the point, just because a section can't compete with another news org should it stop trying? Do you cut off your coverage area wherever there is a better local news organization?

    If that's what he's saying I don't have a problem with it.

    I don't necessarily try to compete with the other news orgs. I try to bring a different angle to the same story or look into the same story more in depth than the other news orgs.
