I regularly encounter people who are shocked that I read a newspaper. These same people are often uninformed on local events and ask me how I know so much about plans, zoning, county commissioners, etc. I envision a day when local papers fold because they can't pay the bills. I hope I am wrong as they provide an invaluable service. People think their local governments are corrupt now...let local papers disappear... Perhaps they can stay viable in the online world? They will have to do something different though because now all one has to do is clear their cookies regularly and they can read it all for free.
Back to the topic...yes, great coverage.
