You might try to dialog with one of the editors?  The RG like many newspapers is in tough financial times.   I don't know but suspect, that they can't sustain in depth reporting with a growing community, but fewer subscriptions?   We're fortunate to have a daily paper at all.

It's good to expect more from the RG maybe there is something subscribers can do to help?    I want them to be successful or we'll lose them completely- it's happened.  Entertainment is replaceing investigative journalism ( this room is entertainment).  Sad
