Newspaper Analysis

Throughout this semester, I have been examining the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald. The Reporter Herald is Loveland, Colorado's local newspaper that focuses on community journalism. As far as I have seen, the newspaper does a good job of bringing the community stories on matters that effect the community or would interest the population. Each story is written in a way that the average person should be able to understand the article.

It is easy to interact with the reporters and other workers with the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald. When I needed to contact them, I checked their website and immediately found an phone number and e-mail address that we could contact them at. The e-mail I sent them was promptly responded to within 24 hours.

The format of the website for the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald is very basic. The website makes it difficult for the eye to know what to look at first because the page is busy with typed text. There is hardly pictures or colors to liven up the web page. It would help the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald if they would make their website more attractive and easy on the eye.

The Loveland Daily Reporter Herald is a newspaper that tries hard to serve the community they write for and successfully does so. They focus on matters that effect the community and they make the news easily accessible. With a little work on their website, the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald would be a prime example for presenting good news to the public.
