Well, your experiences with community newspapers is different....mine has been with papers similar to the DS. As an editor once told me, the goal of our paper is to report the news, generate profitable revenue through our advertisers and to not put them in a position where that revenue is in jeopardy. Kudo's for you in finding outlets that don't have those issues.
