The FARMINGTON Observer?

Background: The newspaper industry is consolidating. I understand. It's tough to make money in the industry. Experimentation is happening. Cuts are happening. Free markets can be brutal. But if you're going to publish a newspaper called "The Farmington Observer", shouldn't it contain news about Farmington?

Since the Observer and Eccentric closed its Livonia office, I have received 3 editions of the Farmington Observer. The first edition provided a wealth of information – on Rochester. The second expanded from Rochester to Southfield. The third introduced me to all things Oakland County. Just out of curiosity will the Farmington Observer be focusing on Farmington and Farmington Hills anytime soon?

Note: Received a response from the editor. For the holidays, the Observer scaled back and published combined newspapers. This was the reason for the lack of local coverage. All appears back to normal.
