The news is usually determined by journalists who were trained by their colleges(or universities).
An one former publisher stated to a current one, "...Your job is easy. All you have to is be like the 'chamber of commerce' for every community across the county..."

Recent history has shown that several(if NOT many) publications have DECLINED in quality NOR are they TOTALLY dedicated to local & county news.
If there is a SERIOUS crime, like physical harm, embezzling a 
government, etc., then it should reported.
But should a relatively 'MINOR' crime, like shoplifting, be reported?
Also, why do 'some' newspapers print 'MUDSHOTS' of inmates who have YET to be found guilty in court?
Furthermore, does a serious crime WARRANT a sensational coverage to the point that other 'NORMALIZED' news gets left out of the 'process'?
The BOTTOMLINE.....Some newspapers need to practice a BALANCE(& NOT just between LOCAL & COUNTY News), but also the need to print a variety of news, such as: fires, accidents, escapes, business profiles, PR News, Kids' News, Senior Citizens' News, Community News, News-in-Brief, etc. to go along with the Board News.
Again, county newspapers should consider that 75%/25% of the News should be Local/County.
Reviving & restoring trust in the media starts at the LOCAL & COUNTY level.
