Why the city papers should stick to the city
We know the Daily News is going to be the crime and sports paper after the 25 firings -- goodbye, features! -- but perhaps they should stick with crime in, you know, the city. And, also, we know the Inquirer wants those oh-so-rich Narberth readers, but there are other suburbs, too.
A comparison:
The identities of the two Newtown Borough officers were not released last night. The dead officer was 46 and was shot in the head. The wounded officer is 31 and suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.
Suddenly, he took one of the officers' guns and began shooting, police said. The volley wounded a 46-year-old officer in the head, and a second officer, age 31, in the chest. A technician was also hit. None of their names was released.
Police said drunken-driving suspect Robert Anthony Flor shot and killed Newtown officer Brian Steven Gregg of Middletown and wounded fellow officer James Joseph Warunek of Fairless Hills and an unidentified hospital worker.
Note: Yes, we're guessing that the Courier just updated its story in the morning. But, hey, there's no reason to let facts in the way of an easy joke.

Just a note...the Courier Times went to print with correct names. So did the Trentonian. The other papers didn't have names until they appeared in the BCCT and Trentonian.
