The news outlet I usually read has been disappointing me lately. The quality of the articles has decreased, and the stories are sometimes biased. I'm considering switching to another source.

I would give them a zero star if I could. This newspaper does not care about anything other than views. My mother died in a MVC a couple months ago and the Westlock News proceeded to post a photo of her destroyed car. My husband expressed his concerns, in attempt to protect my family from seeing the image, and they refused to remove it. What is wrong with a generic photo for the purpose of the article? Nothing, that is how every other media outlet reported it. I saw images of my mothers destroyed car that she died in barely after being notified by the police. Her car was recognizable. Nobody should find out about a family member passing like that. As a minor I was the victim of a crime, they printed the names of relatives that clearly indicated who I was to the public. This is not legal. This news paper is completely unethical. I have no respect for them. What triggered my review now? Another MVC where a young woman died in Westlock county and this paper once again posted the image of the vehicle. No family member should have to see that plastered everywhere. I would like to note that MANY members of the public expressed their concerns with the image when my mom passed, they told my family there was nothing they could do and that they would not remove the image.
