What do you think daily newspapers should do to increase readership?

1. Report more community news. 2. Make the paper free once a week.

The Herald should publish more of the positive things that are being done to build our community.

… Primarily, they should change their layout format so the consumers are able to access all stories more efficiently. As a consumer on the move, I don’t want to have to wade through different parts of the newspaper to get one story.

People go online more today because they’re tired of the newspaper buildup (as trash), on the one hand. Personally, I used to go out to my doorstep at least three times a week to find that it was stolen. [They should] find a better pickup and delivery system.

Consolidate the columns. Make the newspaper flow reader-friendly. I’d like to see more [about] what’s really going on in the communities. There [are] so many more stories that are going on in the communities that are missed — the community sections don’t really reflect the community.

For me, I’d like to see the newspapers write more about what’s going on in the communities, [like] poverty, poor and working-poor people, the effects of CORI, etc. And write more about the positive things … report on youth organizations, progress, jobs, etc.
