But you are right, the options for a Detroit+suburb paper is severely diminished. I guess that's what this new daily might try to be. I'm certainly intrigued on what they might produce.
I don't get the OE where I am, I do get the C&G though. About 3 pages of local "local" news. Not a peep about elsewhere. And really, people living in Detroit don't get much info either, outside of City Hall BS.

News you can use... A slogan of some news station here. That should be the whole philosophy of any newspaper. I suppose it's subjective, but it's not too much to ask for a little current events in the "hood"? Current crime blotter? Local events publicized on a timely basis? Publicized at all?
