I look forward to visits from my wife's girlfriend. She is a flight attendant who travels around the world and picks up newspapers from various countries for me.
Unlike the newspapers in this country, the majority of the paper is devoted to news of the day; and not the daily flood of celebrity trivia and sports.
It's not enough, that such drivel consumes the majority of the paper; but it now has taken over the ever shrinking news section and front page.
The articles are short and concise. Only the facts are presented, and it is left to the reader how to decipher this information. The editorials are the writers opinions on the subject matter, going down the center, with no bias to the right or left.
The newspaper industry is worried about readership being down, and blames it on the switch to the Internet by its readers. Give us a paper with real news, and not the supermarket tabloid headlines and news stories and we just might flock back.
