Well, lets face it, the News and Freep know they don't have the readership of the Detroit zip codes. and they are writing for their readers...a suburban audience. Does that influence, in my opinion, yes. The veteran newspaper writer/editor who knew Detroit top to bottom is a thing of the past, retired, laid off, or dead. The writers today, print and television, don't know the city, they only know the region, and that knowledge is surburban based, for the most part.
