Anyway, while I'm not sure the Post-Gazette has any more reach than the Chicago Reader I think you bring up a good point when you talk about Size. Many publications, particularly in business, are looking at the "big picture." There are big picture successes for craft beer (double digit growth by good-size breweries) but there are tons more small success stories, best told locally. They add up to a lot.

There was positive in the middle, but the beginning (which is all many people read) had missing stats that didn't support its point and the last third was riddled with inaccuracies and plain nonsense. I just coudn't help myself. Glad to see the more positive coverage you mentioned but every rag you listed was local and my bone of contention was/is that the bigger the media, the more they ignore or demonize beer.
