Newspapers are cited as the most relied-upon source or tied for most relied upon for information.

This dependence on newspapers for so many local topics sets it apart from all other sources of local news.  The internet was a distant second to newspapers in terms of widespread use and value.

 

This sense from the public that newspapers are a place where they can turn to for information on a wide range of local topics, more so than other sources only places more emphasis on the need for the NMA to balance and weigh the information the media is sending out to the public and reconsider its stance as the media tilts towards public sympathy.
