There is a whole section the DP has called "Local".  Maybe you should look there for local news, which is pretty much all written by local reporters.  Its pretty rare for a local newspaper to write about stories going on in different parts of the country or world when there are other reporters already living in that part of the world reporting on those topics...which is why newspapers often partner up with others so that they can produce a wide range of news from across the world.  
Your standards for local newspapers seems unusually high....perhaps you can point me to another local newspaper which meets all the standards you set?
