Local paper without local news?

Earlier in the week I learned from the Star Tribune that my internet provider, CPTelecom is being bought by Hickory Technology of Mankato. I did not see anything in the Duluth News Tribune where CP Telecom is headquartered. I can't even find anything with a search of the News Tribune's web site.

Today I receive a letter from CPTelecom and Hickory Technology about the merger. I still could find nothing on the News Tribune website.

Maybe if CPTelecom were headquartered in Fargo, the headquarters of Forum Communications, owner of the Duluth News Tribune, the News Tribune would have published something.
