Matt, Matt, Matt (couldnt help it) You could try our local paper, but it only comes out on Thursdays, and it generally talks about the school kids sporting events, whats going on with town government usually takes up a small corner ... oh and my favorite The police blotter- it's a riot! (well, upon occasion there is a domestic abuse report and that is awful and we had a murder once which was scary back about 10 years ago or so.) That's about the only paper I like to read, my son was in it as a ladybug in the town parade! But if you want a good paper, The Lawrence Eagle Tribune, The Boston Globe is another good one. I tend to read rueters off the internet- they seem to be unbiased for the most part. Hope it helps!

Matt, The styles of journalism are the thing to recognize, not the paper. Colleges and others have been promoting the idea of "advocacy journalism" over straight reporting for decades . One cannot assume impartiality in what is printed. This applies to liberal and conservative papers. One has to questions how reporters could possibly know what their subjects are thinking or what their motives are. Journalists tend to use advocacy to justify the shading of stories to their point of view. Impartiality has been passe for a long time. In fairness, competition from the sensationalized television and cable networks have forced print journalists to keep up in order to attract advertising dollars. The sensational sells over straight journalism every time. The largest paper in the US by far is the National Enquirer. Whereas only a few papers boast circulation of one million these days, The Enquirer has a circulation in the multi-millions. Brad and Angelina sell much better than George and family.
