Even local news have websites and websites archive news stories. Especially stories like this. [/B]
Not necessarily. I live in a small Kansas town and our newspaper is not on line and we have no tv coverage unless a station from 30 miles away comes. We didn't even have local Internet access until about a year and half ago. I've heard Jess lives in Missouri. If it's a small town, it's paper may not be on line. Even the local paper may not mention it until this week because the Saturday and Monday issues are ready to print by Friday (or at least ours are).
Please note: the Missouri information may not be correct, see the above post by Wolfsoul, but the small town stuff could stil apply.
