But how important is original content really?

Going head-to-head, mano-a-mano, balls-to-the-wall (er, no that doesn't really work), one-on-one in the Saturday news competition, we offer you the ritzy-glitzy Eureka Reporter vs. the scruffy and often overweight Times-Standard!

For our first click, the ER! Tops on the "News" page, it's... Human Rights Commission seeks members! Followed quickly by Fortuna council considers new bonds! And what's that? Group to host 'Dismantling Corporate Rule' workshop?! Awesome! For the final punch... Humboldt Heroes! Yeah!

Can the T-S beat these four oh-so-sexy press releases? We're talking about Saturday after all, when civilized people are catching baddies at the Beau Pre. But let's take a looksee at the ol'T-Stand.

Hammond Trail gap to be filled this summer. Ooh, chalk one up for the Driscollator! Next up, we have Leaning tree will lean no more Go, go Chris Durant! What's that? A whale spotted in the bay? Does Driscoll ever sleep?! And in the four-hole... it's Karina Gianola with Bike competition set for Sunday! That's right folks, four bylines in a row!

Judges, your decision, please?
Tick tock tick tock...

(And yes, we realize the ER print edition offers a big photo and front page story about Redwood Teen Challenge’s philosophy. In return we offer two things: first, Tyson Ritter takes very nice pictures; second, drink up!)
