newspapers

To me, the local newspapers like the Dundalk eagle have a better chance of lasing then any big time paper. The local papers give use full information and news to it's readers. I know me personally, I'd rather hear about something that happened in my town then something that happened 5 towns over. More people would rather read about something local and something that they can relate to then something that they have no clue where it is.
The local papers give information about what goes on in that specific town, and about the people in it. To me, the only paper i wanna even look at would be the eagle. The only reason I care is because I wanna see who all got in it for the local sports, and sometimes I may even be in it for high school. Athletes love to read about and see themselves in the paper. It's the only reason they look at it at times.
Honestly, if your in Dundalk, you don't give a shit about what goes on in Milford mill, or Woodlawn, or Hereford, or any of those places. We only care about what's going on in our general town/ area. Local papers have the upper hand because the news they print is going to the people in a small are, and that's all they wanna read about. Big newspaper companies have to large of an area to cover and a lot of times have useless crap in it.
Bigger newspaper companies are also more bias. They try to force their opinion on people sometimes. whether it's politics, sports, or even schools, they want us to think like them. the local newspaper doesn't care as much, but they'll inform you more on what topics would suite you best in the community. All together, the local newspaper are so much more informative and helpful to the people they publish to.

this is the front of one of the papers

and this is the building where it's made.

Lacrosse Magazine

For lacrosse addicts like me,the Lacrosse magazine, is probably their favorite. It gives you in game photos of the games, and tells you who the the teams are, who the players are, and who won. Most of the pictures in the magazine are of actual players, but in the very front they have photos of young lacrosse players wearing full pads, promoting that companies pads. These are only for boys. The magazine is mostly geared toward boys. Boys are the most prominent ones who really care about it. Plus in my personal opinion and others, boys lacrosse is a lot more interesting, and just seems like more fun so we're more willing to buy it for that. The magazine also has to add in a lot of advertisements. Unfortunately, lacrosse isn't as big as baseball or football, so they have to get a lot of outside sponsors to pay for most of the costs, or else it would probably be pretty expensive. But most of the adds are actually pretty cool offering all kinds of lacrosse related phone cases, t-shirts, and other stuff, which is hard to find. Right before this, is the best part of the magazine. It offers step by step drills, pointers, tips, and all kinds of stuff. It does offer this for boys and girls, but not every one has a girls one. it gives great advice, and helps you to become an all around better player. During the collage season, if your as big as me, you love looking at it for all stats, rankings, and important facts. this magazine id great for lacrosse players of all ages. It offers a wide variety of of advice, and can help just about anyone. Unfortunately, sorry girls, but this might be the best one for you, but it is great for boys since it's more geared toward them.
