The latest media merger (Comcast and NBC) confirms an alarming trend to centralize our news.

Thank goodness we have the Robinson group of newspapers! Locally owned, these papers reflect what our community is doing. The publishing decisions are made locally, not by some far-flung, long distance decision maker who still thinks we in the West live in covered wagons!

Go Ballard News-Tribune, West Seattle Herald-White Center News and Highline Times-Des Moines News-SeaTac News!

We are far better off having "hometown" ownership such as the Robinson Newspapers.
