Local news is where local issues are discussed.  

• Be sure to keep in mind bias in news sources. Because of bias, try to read from a variety of sources and use the new evaluation criteria from the library's News research guide.
   
• Be sure to read newspaper articles carefully. Oftentimes, the reporter will include people, organizations or companies that are proponents or opponents to a particular issue or debate. These names may be useful in your continued research. 
   
• You may have to use Google to search for these local sources (i.e. Maui Now or Maui Times). 
   
• If you need a Maui News article that is locked behind a pay wall, ask a librarian.
