I was thinking it might be fun if people wanted to post links to their town/city's local papers (if said papers have a website), to give everyone a feel for the area they hail from.

With web privacy issues and all that, I understand if one doesn't want to give away their exact location, but if you're comfortable with it it could be fun.

Lancaster Eagle Gazette is our publication (note, I don't like the site or the paper, but it does give insight to the area).

Here's our free neighborhood paper.

We have three major papers in the SLC area:

The Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com

The Deseret (Morning) News
http://www.deseretnews.com/

The Salt Lake City Weekly
http://www.slweekly.com/

----
The top two are the dailies and are more or less the same content-wise. The Tribune is said to be more independent and middle of the road politically, while the Deseret News tends to the conservative side.

The City Weekly, on the other hand, is an "alternative-weekly" and as such is on the liberal end. It has a very polarized following around here (i.e. people either *love* it or *hate* it; there's little ambivalence.)

If we're talkin' local, local...there's the Alaska Star, covering the Chugiak-Eagle River communities, which includes Peters Creek...sort of.

But we're all within the Municipality (kind-of-a-county) of Anchorage and that makes our leading local paper the Anchorage Daily News. Then there's the Anchorage Press, a very, very small competing rag.

And since we live as close (or closer) to Palmer and Wasilla as to most parts of the city of Anchorage, I might as well throw in the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman.

Well, probably not many but I sure find them interesting.

WRT Peter's City Weekly, Lol I just looked down through the main page, but I love it. I wish more papers were around here that had that style, though I couldn't see too many mainstream publications saying some of the things that they do at CW. Fun stuff.

Hey, cool! They automatically translated the pages from Canadian to American!

Our local weekly is the Bay Area Citizen (check how our gabage collection service is about to change). It's printed on Wednesday and delivered on Thursday... more usually Friday... sometimes Saturday.

And, of course, there is the Houston Chronicle. It's sad that a city the size of Houston has only one major daily. But, we do have 2-1/8 pages of comics (down from 3-1/2)! When the other daily paper, the Houston Post, folded, the Chron "adopted" its comics; it's been winnowing them down ever since.

Here, we have the Olympian and its tendency to announce that any protest in the city is caused by students at The Evergreen State College. They're often, but not always, right.

I'll have to keep an eye on this one, and see if any of the accompanying photographs show you running around with a sharpie correcting the spelling on the picket signs

Here's my local paper. I'm not overly fond of it, but it's the only game in town.

Here's the main rag. I usually check the obituaries to see if I'm still alive. The alternative press paper is The Local Voice (note: they don't pull punches re language), a refreshing look at what's really going on. The Eagle tends to read as if it were written by the Chamber of Commerce.

Then there's The Commercial Appeal, which is good for store fliers, coupons, and accurate reports on yesterday's shootings in Memphis.

Of course I always read The Hartford Courant to keep up with what's going on back home.

I'd have to post a picture first, wouldn't I?

In all seriousness, though, I spent a few months of my college career carrying around a red Sharpie to correct the spelling and grammar on lengthy and incomprehensible political diatribes posted around campus--and fliers for the kung fu club, that latter because I so desperately loathed its captain, who was also the sports editor on the school paper. He made my life as copy editor very difficult.

Sharpie or sharpy:

1: a long narrow shallow-draft boat with flat or slightly V-shaped bottom and one or two masts each carrying a triangular sail
2 a: sharper
2 b: an exceptionally keen or alert person

Since the border is meters away from the Couriers office it is kind of mandatory.
I am not as anti american people think I can just be a jack*** at times.
