Could this be a bell-weather indicator of a larger return to more local centric viewpoints? One can only hope so. News-wise, we have been so heavily overloaded to national/global scale stories that many people don't really know what their local area is truly like. There are people here in the West, who panic that every incident of juvenile vandalism and crime, is a portent of Mexican Cartel activity, or gang-related, or even worse a product of the Globalist Agenda. I'm not advocating a polly-anna, head-in-the-sand, nothing-to-see-here, approach, but local input and perspective is sorely needed to balance the 24-hour world-news cycle we currently have.
I sure hope so, Rusty. It’s hard to fill up a newspaper. But the fuller they get with local stories, the better for us all.
