As far as local newspapers go I'm pretty devoted to Raleigh's News & Observer, but the Herald-Sun…read moreis a decent fallback. Chapel Hill isn't exactly a bustling metropolis, but the Herald-Sun seems like a newspaper from a much smaller town. There's a heavy focus on community happenings, plus quite a bit of local business/development news. As far as length goes it's not very substantial, especially considering that it focuses on news from Orange, Durham, Alamance, Person, Chatham, and Wake counties. I'd probably visit the Herald-Sun website more often if I didn't have to register to read the stories, but at least it's fairly easy to navigate. I can't say that I read the Herald-Sun often enough to have a favorite feature and I certainly wouldn't pay for a subscription, but I'll definitely pick it up and read it if I find one laying around.

They cut down trees to print this awful paper and leave it on my doorstep like unwanted trash twice a week only to claim higher circulation.

Let me preface: Back in the day, I worked for a publication on UNC's campus that was not the DTH…read more We did not compete with the DTH (we had no desire to, and filled a very different niche), but in the interest of full disclosure, there it is. That being said, the DTH is not a good newspaper. I'm fully aware of the awards it wins and the reputation for excellence it has, which leads me to question the standards that other college newspapers hold themselves to. Are they even printed on paper? Are they using the English language? Do their editors hold children hostage at gunpoint at every budget meeting? What paltry requirements must there be for a college newspaper that the DT-bleeding-H gets five-star reviews and annual awards? Most upsetting is the irrelevance of the stories. One gets the impression that these are not journalists actually trying to convey the news, but children making mountains out of their playground politics, dressing them up with official-sounding rhetoric and pompous bylines. Bicycle pumps do not concern me, and I am already well-aware of the endless tuition increases. Tell me something useful. The staff seems terribly prejudiced, as well. The DTH is something of a magic eye puzzle; if you look at it real hard and unfocus your eyes, you can see the petty, ill-thought-out agendas that the writers and editors curl up with at night to make the loneliness burn just a little bit less. If you're going to report on trivialities, at least make them unbiased trivialities. The best things about the DTH are the classified pages and the crossword puzzle, which alone accounts for 77% of all DTH reader interest. Also (to be fair), there is occasionally something mentioned that's actually worth thinking about, usually about one story per week. Other than that, you can get your daily dose of laughs by flipping through the headlines looking for spelling errors.

I'm a newspaper…read morejunkie, and try to get my hands on local rags wherever I'm at, but this college publication is worthwhile even for the casual reader. The DTH annually recognized as one of the top collegiate newspapers in the country, and deceivingly so. They have a dedication to professional journalism with an ear to both students and the larger university and Chapel Hill community. For non-students this is a great way to get your hand on the pulse of what local young people are thinking, and a refreshingly untainted look at the news from a youthful idealism that's often faded by the time journalists reach the professional ranks. The DTH is careful to cover local, state, and national news in addition to campus stories. So there is something for everyone in this daily. You don't have to be on-campus to get a copy either. Boxes are stationed around town. On-campus or off, the DTH is free, which is a big plus. Also worth noting is that the DTH is probably the most effective place to advertise for local businesses as most every student is sure to pick on up each day.

For example, I was reading an article about a Dr. Thomas LeGrow who works with patients with spinal issues at Durham Regional Spine Center uses a Zero Gravity decompression table to not only relieve, but heal the pain of varying spinal issues. I thought of a relative who might qualify for this type of procedure in lieu of surgery. There are several other articles ranging from preventative health to maintaining excellent oral hygiene. There are 40,000 plus copies of the paper distributed in medical offices, major shopping areas, libraries, bookstores and health food stores to mention a few. So pick up one and keep healthy!

We just purchased a second home in NC. We live in AZ and so most of this has been done long distance which makes his good communication all the more vital! We had the entire wood floor sanded down and re-stained etc. Which left sawdust EVERY WHERE! We needed the house thoroughly "Wiped" down so that the painter can now come in and do his job without sealing saw dust permanently on our walls etc.! Chris came to the house and did a walk through. He gave me enough confidence to leave him with a key and allow him and his crew to go into my empty home with BRAND NEW wood flooring. He assured me they would take the utmost care to not scratch or ding anything. I totally believe him :) This is a small business which I totally respect and want to encourage the "American Dream". I hope that anyone reading this will at least give him the opportunity to bid your cleaning project!
