Looks like you're submitting websites for all the individual local newspapers in a chain. So far, so good (and thanks).
But each local newspaper's website should be listed only ONCE, and that in the News & Media category.
In very very unusual circumstances, a Newspaper site may have a "featured attraction" subsite that corresponds to an ODP category. I'd look at these three criteria to decide whether to "deeplink" that page:
1) Ordinary expectations -- every newspaper has stuff about local arts, politics, weather, business, culture, etc. We don't have to waste our time deeplinking for such obvious content.
2) Taxonomic continuity -- if the categories proposed for the deeplinks are "close" to the category containing the main listing, then there is very little value to listing the deeplinks. They would then have to be extraordinarily valuable content (as well as unexpected).
3) Specific focus -- If a newspaper sponsored a significant subsite (more than a mini-site!) on a very specific topic (such as a historical person, organization, etc.) that wasn't either immediately obvious or taxonomically nearby, then that might be worth considering for a deeplink. Hypothetical example: Flagstaff, Arizona paper building a tourist guide to the Grand Canyon (which is not taxonomically near, nor yet the normal practice of local papers, and yet of sufficient interest to have its own category.) Sacramento newspaper containing a significant tribute to, say, Bret Harte (in Literature). Nashville newspaper sponsoring a section aimed at schoolchildren on Tennessee history (in Education).
The situation you describe really fails all three tests. (But we do thank you for submitting these, and please do not neglect to submit also to the proper subcategory of
