the star is my go to info source. it covers all levels of news including local. I love the investigative journalist pieces. I am a bit concerned about the pieces that are impprtant, but become fluff pieces bc writers don't do balanced research. when we write for the public realm, using personal stories that are poorly understood, victimization or personal attacks, come across as cheap. You're better than that.
The app works ok now, previous issues seem to be resolved.
Incredibly easy to navigate from one section to another.
great journalism!
Thank you for keeping me informed in my travels.
