The first two do a great deal of investigative journalism, as well as quality analysis.

The last is the only one we subscribe to mostly to support because most of it's free on line. It provides coverage and pictures of acquaintances at local public events to smile over, but its coverage of government meetings is more than a little lacking. What can I say? This is the Deep South, where authoritarianism is a virtue.
