The Importance of Local Content

The Photo Editor, www.aphotoeditor.com, had a recent post on how local newspapers need to focus on local content rather than running wire stories that readers can get elsewhere online (this is specifically regarding online newspaper websites, which the blog APE referenced said also needed to make the jump to web 2.0...see www.al.com as an example of a newspaper site that desperately needs changes).  Anyhow, I think the discussion about the importance of local support and community based on geography should be key to how we approach Analogue.
