My local paper. . .

. . .not only requires registration before accessing its online content, it requires payment. I think this is a shame. There have been some pretty interesting local stories lately, but they've only been covered on the web by the local NBC affiliate, (also owned by the Paxton Media Group), whose website coverage has been woefully inadequate.

Perhaps my readers should contact Mr. Paxton and browbeat him until he either provides decent, freely accessible content -- or offers me a writing job.

UPDATE: Here's a link to the contact info page, just to save readers the trouble of tracking it down.
