Hyperlocals: What would you say to your local newspaper editor?

I asked my hyperlocal site owner followers on twitter what they would say to their local newspaper editor if they could have half an hour with them. Here are the responses.

    So, hyperlocal site owners, what would you say to your local newspaper editor if you had half an hour with them?

    @philipjohn I'd say: "at the very least, link to your sources on-line."

    @philipjohn :) In fact, we've already said it to them. They don't listen.

    @philipjohn Probably offer my deepest sympathies. I don't think the editor is the problem.

    @philipjohn 'hello? Brownhills is over here' followed by 'why do you keep posting editorials that make Mussolini look like a lefty wuss?'

    @philipjohn heh! thanks... I'd also ask 'why do you think it's acceptable to raid the work of the online local blogs without attribution?'

    @philipjohn 'stop with the damn puns already. Also, employ a community manager. Maybe one who already handles local news, say..'
