You're right! They obviously care a huge amount about local news, otherwise they wouldn't own so many local newspapers.

Local titles have always been seen as a cash cow with lots of revenue from property adverts to be used to subsidise the owner's prestigious but loss making national titles. We can all draw our own conclusions about their interest in journalism from the contents of the Advertiser.
