from nearby cities of marginal interest locally, etc., opinion pieces not worth reading
The Enquirer has a proud past; it was founded in 1841 or 1842, at one time was influential nationally.

My own grandfather came from the Detroit Press in the 1920's to work for the Enquirer, which has engendered in my a certain loyalty to newspapers. It is the only remaining local daily, where I grew up with three dailies in town.
I have been a daily subscriber for 58 years.

Only one of my four children reads the newspaper; the others get their news online or on television.
