The Gag-zette?
My new hometown paper is The Colorado Springs Gazette.
So far, so unimpressed.
Picked up a random issue last week and counted four stories in the front page section written by Gazette reporters. The rest of the articles, ten or eleven in total, were written by the Associated Press, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and The New York Times.
Until this past Sunday, the Gazette hadn't had a local news columnist for years. Seems they're trying to bring more local opinions and voices into the local paper.
Imagine that.
I love New York and Boston as much as the next girl. But this isn't New York or Boston.
Believe me.
I'd like to read about what's going on here. A local reporter's take on big world events would also be nice. Interview Jim Bob about how he shot him a real live bear. Show some hometown pride!
If Wesley Chapel, Florida's In the Loop can do it, so can The Colorado Springs Gazette.

You mean, someone actually read In The Loop? Wow, I wonder how they're doing with that 33% loss in readership.
Yes, I'm joking. Sorta.
Why don't you sign up to be a reporter?
Everyone reads the Sunday Gazette (for the Parade and sales). Otherwise it's The Independent.
