I realised that I didn't care about ensless pages of what kids were doing in schools.
I also got heartily sick of local fundraising efforts, ... noble though they are, they are NOT NEWS.
But...photos of kids in local schools do sell papers and - to be fair - a lot of people complain bitterly that 'all news is bad', which is hardly the case when a local paper like the NWWN celebrates the positive as often as it does.
Local fund raising efforts may not be news, in the sense of the nationals', but do provide a measure of free advertising for many local groups - a prime function of any community organ, and for that NWWN should be applauded.
The NWWN isn't the place of choice for the aspiring Murdoch, that's for sure, but I feel it performs a valuable service in the area and is better than the free alternatives in that respect.
