Please do better job prioritizing news

Regarding the April 17 paper: I have been a subscriber for many years. And for many years, I continue in spite of your substandard ability to convey what is truly important in the nation and in the world. I am sorry, but the Silvertips’ demise should not overshadow an event such as the tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech. Please, do a better job of prioritizing what belongs on the front page of the main section.
