Local Stuff Is Usually Better
Bill Moore,
I imagine there are a lot of them and some are really important. My suggestion is to follow "local" newspapers and publications. The problem is(at least it has been my problem) you have to know the names of the local pubs before you can look up local stories on the internet, but once you know the names of the pubs you can read in depth stories or just scan local headlines.
As an example, not to long ago the impact of budget cuts on how Law Enforcement was going to deal with the mentally ill in my area was becoming so severe that they had to call a statewide conference to find other ways and funding resources to deal with it. It has become a big problem but you would have never see it as a national issue even though it is one.
This Dosen't fit into the Big Lib Agenda, so stuff gets spiked by editors at the Big level IMO. Don't know how widespread this is but I have seen it done before at the National level to. Used to have some pretty good contacts in what was called the Print Media in the old days. But they have mostly retired or have gone 10-7. Seems everybody has gone Blogging now days. I am going to have to start one
Don't know it this will help any but I have grown to "trust local ,not global" (just invented that)!
