How closely would you expect the Honolulu papers to resemble each other on the announcements?

Assuming the source information was the same, I’d expect it to be a lot alike. Reporters, editors and typesetters don’t want to invest a lot of time into stuff like this. My guess is that a list was picked up from the state registrar and handed directly to a typesetter in the newspaper office, and was reviewed by the page editor for misspellings. The formats of two different papers, in how they print the announcements might markedly different, but the information should be nearly identical IMO.

I would not expect either paper to make any changes from what they received from the state, which would, after all, be the official data. I mean, what would there be to change? They should print the data verbatim, assuming they get the same list.
