Bringing up an old thread. Way too many sewage stories in the forum lately. I enjoy reading the foolum but doesn’t Grand Forks have their own newspaper?

There also seems to be more stories from South Dakota and from Minnesota outside of the northwestern part of the state. My guess is that they are trying to be a regional player in the media instead of just focusing on local news. The last time we were in western and northern North Dakota, the Saturday evening news on the NBC station covering Minot was airing the WDAY newscast.
It's OK to not be OK.
This all started quite a while ago when they began downsizing some of their smaller properties and bringing some of those outlying reporters under the fold of their "news service". It was a way of keeping some coverage in areas they were losing papers while bolstering content for the Forum.
I cancelled my Fargo Forum subscription in 2016 (the same year as your post. .sorry, just getting around to replying to your post). I LOADED MY FRUSTRATIONS on the poor hapless telephone operator. She said "sigh, I know, thank you." She said "I will let them know your thoughts." I rarely read the Fargo Forum (except for free at the public library). The most bizarre anti-Fargo-anti-NDSU publication imaginable. I always say "As NDSU goes, so goes Fargo" and vice-versa. And yet this Fargo Forum BITES THE HAND THAT FEEDS IT.
