Common denominator is Newspaper ownership.
RTD/Roanoke Times/Daily Progress (plus a bunch of others) are owned by one company (Lee Enterprises) - they can just run Niziolek/Berman/McFarling in the RTD, rather than pay for a separate beat writer(s).
I haven't paid attention to the Daily Press/Virginian Pilot, but I know they're owned by Alden media, which has a pretty terrible reputation for asset stripping newspapers. No going back now, and it will likely only get worse in terms of newspaper coverage.
