Certainly it is primarily an advertising vehicle, both to attract new buyers with positive stories regarding all the activities going on here in The Villages, and also to keep current residents upbeat about The Villages "lifestyle". You will find little coverage of issues that could be considered negative to the desired image (such as concerns about recurring bad odors in neighborhoods close to the landfill).
There is coverage of national or international news, but by the time such stories are published, I have already read them (sometimes word for word) in other sources. The only current news of interest to me, I find in the sports section.
But it does contain useful info about local happenings, so I do subscribe.
Basically, it is what it is. Take it or leave it.
