It Takes a Village to Make a Newspaper.

In today's Sunday edition of the Chronicle, there are a total of 32 stories in section A. Of these, only eight were written by Chronicle writers. A paltry 25%.

I wish the Chronicle, supposedly the 11th most-read newspaper in the United States, was interested in covering the news of the world and the nation. Why must the majority of our news come from other outlets, e.g. the New York Times and the Associated Press? It's embarassing. Instead of paying for these stories, the Chronicle should give us coupons for 50% off the New York Times or the Washington Post and limit its reporting to wine, gavin newsom, and earthquakes.
