Hawkes Bay Today newspaper gone to " the dogs?"

Rob from Havelock North

I've been in media, one way or another, most of my life. I owned and edited The Havelock North Village Press in the nineties etc.
I've been subscribing at around $12 a week to Hawkes Bay Today but am considering cancelling as most of the stories are Hawkes Bay Yesterday!!. Is it just me or is the paper just full of " he said, she said" gossip and items about neighbours fighting or kids having their bikes pinched. Most of the other stories are beat-ups from their parent company NZME in Auck. or are items well and truly covered online by Stuff or various other social media outlets.
Anyone else agree that it's time to cancel or should I persevere?
