The local news always discusses the same subject matter. You will always get your daily dose of the weather, which is helpful. Then you find out what's going on in proximity to where you live. A suspected robbery in Hammonton, a local woman is sent to the hospital after a shooting takes place in Pleasantville. And of course, the exciting news that is happening within your local community, such as a town experimental rain garden is flourishing. In other news, a 3-way car accident at the garden state plaza toll.
Finally, they get into some news that's political. Of course we hear about the H1N1 flu virus, inevitably (5 cases reported by New Jersey health officials), a former councilwoman is indicted for "official misconduct". Also a matter of concern for New Jersey shores, there has been no money allocated to beach replenishment from state or federal government!
Other than those few stories aforementioned, stories were rather locally based (hence local news), strictly pertaining to local residents, car accidents and minor community issues. There is a lot more room for political content, which certainly effects more people than a rain garden experiment. Personally, I thought the news was quite boring and had the urge to view something entirely different. Nonetheless, I can see why people are interested in watching their local news, giving them a sense of knowledge within the community.
