I like The Daily Sun. The price is right (maybe even a bargain). They sure make an effort to include local people and events. Seldom do you see a newspaper that does so much to get local peoples names and pictures in the paper - admit it, it kinda makes you feel good to see your name or picture in the paper. Are the evenhanded and unbiased in their coverage? I think not! They do go out of their way to promote TV (that is good, IMHO) but I sometimes think they go too far to hide the bad news too - accidents by drunks on our streets, break-ins, robberies on the sidewalks at some of our shopping centers, shoddy workmanship or repairs, etc. We are a reflection of society as a whole (maybe a little skewed reflection due to an age differential but still a reflection) so we will have our share of bad news. My criticism is that The Daily Sun does tend to hide that a little. Not being a "shoot the messenger" type, I would not hold it against The Daily Sun if they printed more of the "bad" news. As far as local events go, their calendars of whats coming up and their coverage of what went on in TV are great. Missing typos is generally only a reflection (again IMHO) of the downturn in the quality of education nationally. Typos happen in every newspaper sooner or later. But that is an entirely different subject (or can or worms) that I don't want to open here.
