My local paper is one of theirs. In theory its an evening paper. In Practice its now available by midday, having been put to bed before  10pm the night before. So in effect it has been finalised before the National dailies that have been at your door first thing in the morning. So all my local news appears 2 days out of date.

every couple of months when the paper bill arrives there is a level of discussion about whether it will be cancelled for the next 2 months.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
