Reading the newspapers lately I noticed an interesting phenomenon, with the exception of a few front page articles, there seems to almost no local content in the Indy Star.

With a look reminiscent of USA Today, the majority of articles are coming from a Gannett publication somewhere, with features from the Associated Press, USA Today and the Washington post.

While “News for You” in the regional publications: Star North, etc, provides a place for local businesses to place their own stories, there is a lack of content generated by local, professional writers.

As we try to build the reputation of this city and gain national attention, it is going to be hard to succeed when fewer writers are writing about what is happening here.

I originally posted this comment on Smaller Indiana and it generated quite a bit of discussion.  What do you think?
