Just take a look at all the advertisements running in the LaDaSun; display, classified, and local town notices, and compare it to the Citizen. When local towns like Laconia, Gilford, Meredith, Belmont and Sanborton chose one paper for their local notices like water shut-offs, and town meetings, that speaks to their perceptions.
A big space in the Citizen's Laconia building was recently rented out as a 2-3 year temporary home for th Belknap County Court, while its' courthouse gets renovated. Does that mean Foster's is running it from their seacoast home? I don't know? The LaDaSun had a photo of Judge Noyes tape-measuring his court's new space at the Citizen building while sprung on his knees.
Newpapers are obviously in the advertising business, and are supposed to have a passion for journalism-reporting, whatever that is!.
