[UPDATE] Post's blog "Central Palm Beach County" is almost all about just the little City of Lake Worth. Why?

There's news about Greenacres in The Palm Beach Post today (10/19). Really, it's true. Page B3, local section, above the fold or use this link. At the end of this blog post is the reporters contact information if you have more news about the goings-on in the fine City of Greenacres or the Lake Worth Corridor. But the question remains, why is the City of Lake Worth so very, very special?
 

Along with Lake Worth's special status every Monday in the print edition, the newspaper that claims "REAL NEWS STARTS HERE" has a 'Central' PBC blog almost ALL about Lake Worth.

The print edition of The Palm Beach Post's Lake Worth Very Very Special Monday Collector Print Edition (LWVVSMCPE) comes out on Monday. Every Monday. Again and again and again and no one knows why. It's never been explained why the little City of Lake Worth is so special and cities like Greenacres and Palm Springs aren't.

Why can't Greenacres be special too? Why just Lake Worth? We'll be happy to share some of our news coverage with our friends out west.

Imagine you have news in Greenacres and you've been trying everything to get the attention of their beat reporter. You grab that morning's paper and it's another story about Lake Worth. Really! This weekly spotlight (that we never asked for Greenacres!) just keeps rolling like the Energizer Bunny. Along with LDub's special status in the print edition with the LWVVSMCPE each and every week they also have a blog called, "Central [sic] Palm Beach County". Here are the numbers looking back from yesterday, Saturday, October 14th:

• Stories on Lake Worth: 66 (88%)
• Stories about unincorporated 'Central Palm Beach County': 5 (6%)
• Stories on other cities in 'Central Palm Beach County': 5 (6%; 1 story each about Palm Springs and Greenacres, 3 from West Palm Beach)

You have to go back to October 7th to read a story about another city other than Lake Worth, the City of Greenacres. If you didn't know any better, you'd think the only city that matters to the Post is Lake Worth. Is this fair to citizens of the City of Greenacres? Suburban Lake Worth? Lantana? Palm Springs? Lake Clarke Shores?
