The last time I spoke with Chilcutt (several months ago) he was still a local news reporter. He was offered an opportunity with the new owners and had chosen to stay. He may have left since the last time I spoke with him...I dunno.
I think there are some good reporters here...Dottie Nist will report things accurately and you can pretty much always count on Tom McLaughlin for the nuts and bolts of an issue IF you read the NWFDN. I personally think what's missing here is investigative journalism. In a small community where time and budget constraints prevent that type of reporting what your left with is, the news just being reported accurately or mostly accurate news. Political corruption is a very deep deep subject and small town news medias are very remiss to bite the hands that feed them.
Not reporting news at all is a whole nother issue!
