News Press -- Santa Barbara's New Tabloid?

As I was doing my morning walk I checked the top of the fold of the News Press -- that's about all of the NP I read these days. Next to a big picture of a boy playing with a worm, I think, ran a lead article by Scott Steepleton, the only editor at the NP left standing (he also writes most of the articles these days) celebrating the News Press's new addition, a British Gossip Columnist named Richard Mineard!
Oh, boy, just what the town needs. Our major daily can't cover local schools, religious life, or even city hall, but hey we can find out what's going on with Prince Willie! But since Wendy McCaw's primary audience isn't me but Rob Lowe, I guess that's not too surprising.
Craig Smith offers his take on all this -- which is, as usual, much more informed on these things than am I!
