As you say, the Globe has a far larger staff. Given that, I would argue that it's worth a mention when it misses a story of local importance.

(OK, maybe a little hyperbole.) The reasons are obvious: the Globe has a far larger reporting staff and more pages to fill. So when the Herald covers a (juicy) story that the Globe misses, you make the point that it's nice to have two newspapers in town? Cheap shot, IMHO.
