Star-T: Inconsistent coverage

In all my 9 years of living in Flower Mound, I've had subscriptions to the Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Leader and whatever other papers were ought there to buy. I'm a local news junkie -- good thing since it's my full-time job.

In all these years, the Star-Telegram has provided the most inconsistent level of coverage. Some weeks it feels like they've opened a newsroom right in the middle of town. Lots of stories, lots of angles.

But just as often, there's coverage like what I found in yesterday's paper. You know that big Flower Mound H.S. win over The Colony? Homecoming? 31-0? FMHS now 4-1? That big Flower Mound win scored only one paragraph of coverage in the Saturday morning Star-Telegram.

Pretty weak. I sent them a quick note to remind them we're up here. I'll be interested to see if they respond.
