What, in your opinion, is at least one of the best or worst papers you’ve read? One of my best has to be the _Sun News_ of Myrtle Beach, if only because (unless I’m mistaken) it is apparently locally owned and printed by the Sun Publishing Co. which is headquartered there. As such, it does not follow the cookie-cutter design scheme of the Gannett papers.

Speaking of Gannett papers, their _USA Today_ has very definitely been one of my worst lately, as has the _Greenville News_. Not only does the _Greenville News_ have very poor design (not helped by minor font changes, if that), but their second page has _USA Today_ on it, and the baseball part of the sports section is from _USA Today_ (and most of the sports section is from the AP).
