... When you are a reporter on a beat, whether you write periodically or
daily, you do everything you can to get background on that area .... It
appears that Susan has not even attempted to do that.

I think that sums it up.  Regardless of the *depth* the paper chooses to
get into any area it's reporting on, there are certain standards or just
basic steps taken.  This should refer to all market sizes.  I think the
public is more into the*star* stuff with respect to R/TV, e.g. where Matt
Seigel ate dinner out last night, and who he was with... who is getting the
ax   and who is replacing him/her.  I bet the added emphasis would pay off.
