[Seattle-editorial] Who's news? Everybody's news!

[anarch3m]

Percisely, and we have had some back and forth on this issue.

Let me pose:  Think Global, Act Local------how is it possible without global news?  so there is a need.  But the line is that we have just so much real estate to expend and we want it alocated localy.

hopefully this will clarify as we get ready for the code and the real estate supply improves.

I have since day one, posted news of other locations where it was relevant to a local community.  Police accountability, cop watch, pot (since wew have THE hempfest and since legal issues 'there'are relevant here, tomorrow, in a strategic sence.)  I usually try to give a frame to explain it.

I'm sure emigrants are locally concerned, in a tangible local way, about events outside the P.S. area.  Raids in L.A. for instance.  Again its the issue of front page real estate allotment.
