(Brr, it's cold out today. At 8:00, the National Weather Service said it was -16° F in Calumet.)
Here in Houghton and Keweenaw counties, we have approximately two official local news sources. One is the Daily Mining Gazette. They're typically pretty slow, and their choices in which stories do and don't get printed are traditionally pretty bizarre.
The other one is WLUC TV6. They're a TV station, not a newspaper, and you can tell. News is published quickly on their website, which is welcome, but sometimes their haste is obvious. It's mostly forgiveable, though, since most of us are grateful for an alternative to the DMG.
James pointed out a good example of this today. An article about a snow plow collision on US-41 had all of the relevant information, but was a little choppy. The best part, however, was the first comment left on the story, which I thought was a good mix of good-natured ribbing and relevance to the story. The good-natured ribbing part must've caught the eye of someone at WLUC, though, since they quickly reformatted the story.
