It's my understanding that obits are only printed if the family writes it up themselves (or has the funeral home do it). I won't swear to it, but I believe the family has to pay for the obit as well. That's why we see some out-of-state obits here and why some deaths aren't reported at all. I find it rather sad. As much as I hate death, I'd rather know when a former neighbor has died than who was arrested in the past week.
