Yes, I agree that Hudson is at times overcovered and there is a lot of focus on small-town issues. It would be lovely to branch out and cover issue stories and things that require more indepth reporting.

I stand by, however, the need for more support of local newspapers so that there is higher circulation and better working conditions/pay/staff at the local papers to facilitate giving people more indepth information.

You can't build "Rome" on the backs of only a few who are willing to do the job for very little because they truly care about informing the public. It just isn't enough in today's day and age. And people wonder why journalists are flocking to PR fields...

But yes, do advocate from your end. You never know what will make a difference.
