Weekly paper. It's the only commercial print publication that focuses primarily on Springfield…read morenews (though the Eagle Times, Valley News, and Rutland Herald occasionally notice the town exists). News coverage appears balanced (as does selection of letters to the editor). But the editorial page has a bit of a right-wing slant. Alternatives: A local news blog http://springfieldvt.blogspot.com. Also, The Green Horn, the local high-school newspaper covers some local events (and is available at various locations around town for free), but is published only a few times a year.
