MAD Magazine Is Winding Down And Fans Are Devastated

20. I subscribe to a paper

that is somewhat local, a daily. I need something to keep up with state and local affairs.

It is no longer owned by a local group, and has become increasingly right wing. It has a few liberal columnists who get into the paper on a somewhat regular rotation. I have not written to the paper in a long time, and that is overdue, especially with the 2020 election coming up. They publish my letters and guest columns because I am a subscriber.

I am in regular communication with the local liberal columnists, who are a married pair of retired teachers.

We need some way to keep up with local and state events. I buy our weekly local paper, too. That is not locally owned any more, either.

We can keep reading and supporting these things because we need them. But we can demand better content.
