Twice the news for your money

The newspaper merger was supposed to be good for the community. By eliminating competition between reporters, it was supposed to bring more stories specialized for the reader.
So here's what more news means. Forget that the Daily Record sports page was headlined by University of Arkansas stories from the Democrat Gazette, while a Rogers story and a snoozer about a Siloam Springs junior dying were at the bottom (This proves how much news is in the paper, because normally the death of any somewhat-prominent high school junior would rate the front page and more than four paragraphs). What proves there is more news is this story about a Florida wide receiver committing to play for the Razorbacks. It was so important, it was printed, in its entirety, on pages 9 and 11. Thank you, Daily Record, for reminding us what our priorities should be.
