Rag Wars

We have two local newspapers in our town. Both have slightly different outer borders but both cover our area. There used to be a distribution war of how many copies were delivered to people’s homes but since the pandemic they seemed to have stopped delivering them completely. I can pick them up in the supermarket but they do go quickly. Because they’re not reaching as many people as they used to, not as many people are advertising so the finished edition is a lot thinner. They’re still popular with people who are house-hunting as estate agents will list their best deals. What they do well is review past events and upcoming community events are given great focus. What would be interesting to read about are people opinions of national situations and offer advice on how people are coping and show where support can be found. Of course, all this takes someone’s time to seek out the information.
