The Daily Herald serves Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and McHenry and has a coverage area of about 1,300 square miles. Within these counties, it serves over 90 communities. The Daily Herald is the largest exclusively suburban newspaper in the Chicago area [1] and the third-largest newspaper in Illinois (behind the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times).
[edit] Daily Herald history
The Daily Herald was started in 1871 by Hosea C. Paddock and was driven by the motto, “To fear God, tell the truth and make money [2].” Paddock Publications, Inc. was started as an independent company and continues to be one today. With a large number of independent publishing companies being bought or going out of business, the success of Paddock Publishing and the Daily Herald has been impressive. The Daily Herald has been developed by four generations of Paddocks. The Paddock Family doesn’t have any plans to sell the company in the future. They have encountered a circulation growth of 19.9% over the past ten years in the Chicago suburban market [3]. Today, the Daily Herald’s motto is, “Big picture. Local Focus” because it claims to have superb national and international articles as well as the most detailed, relevant and timely local news of the suburbs.
[edit] Daily Herald sections
The Daily Herald daily section topics include local and national main news, sports news, business news, classified advertisements, and neighbor news. The Daily Herald is unique in that it has 29 “Neighbor” section zones. These 29 zones of circulation all receive different neighbor news sections which target focus on schools, community events, local government and more. The weekly section titles include Auto, Health & Fitness, L&E (features), Food, Real Estate, Time Out!, Sports Extra, and New Homes. The Daily Herald's Sunday edition section titles include Auto, Going Places, Home & Garden, Homes Plus, TV Magazine, and Commitments. The local sports section is popular among student athletes who enjoy reading about high school sports teams in their area.
The Daily Herald can also be read using the paper’s website (www.dailyherald.com). The website contains all the sections that the print version has. It enables the user to perform detailed searches as well as pick the town he or she lives in, or lives close to, in order to receive information about local news and events.
