Does your front-page photo and story of twin donkeys warrant front page? Was it a slow news day? (With war breaking out in the Mideast, the Iraq war, high gasoline prices, the stem cell vote and veto of it.)
I think the birth of twin foals is newsworthy, but put the story in the Today section.
It was tough to be a first-class city and maintain that status with so much competition out there, but first-class reporting will enhance the city and its reputation. It might even encourage more subscribers.
