I'm sure they would have loved to expose this story, but do they have reporters actively monitoring all the cases going on in the state? That's how you find a story like this. It doesn't just land in your lap unless someone gives it to you.

There are always ways a story like this could come to light without traditional local papers, but I'm just sad to see that one source declining. It makes it less likely that a small local story like this sees the light of day.
