QCTimes

Local news is so important, but the downsizing has taken its toll over the years. There isn’t much investigative reporting anymore. The paper now seems like a pamphlet. All the good comic strips were dropped, too. Some of the right-wing editorials test my gag reflex. The paper should do a better job of calling out our gov. and legislators for being Trumpers. When the paper was bigger, they ran stories of upcoming events and shows and festivals. We don’t get much of that, either. Insert deep sigh here.

We love local news, but not when biased comments are added. News is informative when it relays the facts. I have noticed more insertions of reporters own adjectives on their perceived views of the news. Journalism is based on facts. Keep opinions to the Opinion page. And although I subscribe to the Times, the navigation from page to page has become more difficult than in the past. You have made it harder now to read even with a subscription. Past Times reader

I really liked the quad city times app. Even though we take the daily newspaper, I am disabled and it's hard for me to manage the paper, I can use my iPhone or iPad. However lately, I am missing the obituaries. Why were they removed? Please put them back, I am of an age that I need to know about the death of my colleges and past friends.
