If you live in a smaller town or region, or if you've read the local newspaper in said smaller town or region, you more than likely know the format of the paper. Having worked at small-town newspapers myself, I can tell you stories about the pressure to "conform" and/or cheerlead for the local high school athletic program, among other things.

My buddy David 2 is also familiar with how small-town "journalism" works too - and he has plenty to say about it in this week's BRUTALLY HONEST commentary: http://brutallyhonestcolumn.blogspot.com/2013/02/week-of-02252013.html

As always, your thoughts and opinions are welcome, either here or on David's page. Comments made here will be forwarded to David.
