Besides agenda notices, potentially controversial items get *lots* of coverage in the newspapers - either front page or local sections.
(BTW - what government agencies have "official newspapers"??).:h

The City of San Diego does!!! It is "The Daily Transcript". Each local government in California is required by state law to name a offical newspaper where they are required to post Public Notices. You can usually find these Public Notices in the classified section, but they may be anywhere in the newspaper. They pay by the column inch for the space these public notices take up. The column inch rate is extremely expensive and local newspapers fight to have the right to be named the "Offical Newspaper" of local goverments. You don't read the newspaper, then you don't know what your government is doing!!! And you will not find it on the front page, or in the comics section either! Its the very fine print where you need a magnifying glass.

Those public notices that are required to be put in the paper are different from City Council Agenda announcements. I don't think there is a requirement to publish the agenda in the paper, however, many major newspapers take it upon themselves to publish the agendas. The agenda is only required to be completed 24 hours before the meeting and it then is posted near the City Council Chambers. Although I haven't checked, I'll bet San Diego puts it online too. You can bet the agenda was properly posted in this matter.
