Local Newspaper Stories

Local Newspapers will often struggle to find real, interesting stories, few can afford many field journalists so rely on the community to support the paper and write in with there stories. In return the local newspaper will do its utmost to promote small businesses in there area with quite a large amount of advertising, more so than national newspapers on the front page.

Consequently a lot of local newspapers have to use soft articles, articles which impact the local community if not in a positive way then  at least not a negative one. Such 'soft stories' may include births, marriages, local concerts or other human interest story.

There will also be stories categorized as hard stories which include vandalism, drugs and youth crime. These will be less prominent, depending on the community in question though often used as front page articles as they are the most likely to interest a wider audience.
