Globe, Daily differ in coverage of Taylor death

While both The Joplin Globe and the Neosho Daily featured articles on the death of Sen. Larry Gene Taylor, some differences were evident.
The Globe appeared to stick mostly with the Associated Press article and perhaps added a tidbit of information or two.
Meanwhile, the Daily's John Ford worked the story and featured some local quotes.
Some might say the Daily had more time to come up with a story since Sen. Taylor died Wednesday afternoon. That is true, but I should point out the Globe has a heck of a lot more manpower than the Daily.
