Their content is mostly made up of submissions from contributing readers. They try to focus on underrepresented voices in politics and art. With theme issues like "After Proposal 2", "No One is Illegal", and "Community Gardening" -- they offer a challenging viewpoints and stories that are straight from struggling and rising hearts.

Full disclosure: I once worked for Heritage Newspapers, and I still have friends who work for…read moreHeritage and specifically for the Courier. The Courier lost some subscribers when it was bought by the Journal Register Company, the parent company that oversees the Heritage papers of Western Wayne and Washtenaw County. Those subscribers probably felt it was less of a hometown paper, and many were probably upset by the fact that the Ypsilanti office was closed and staff was consolidated with the staff that covers Belleville. However, I think that the folks putting out the paper really are trying to do a good job. I remember the Courier under the original owners, and I think the paper looks better these days. The layout is consistently cleaner and more interesting under the new owners, and community pages are full of photos of local doings. The report is also decent to good. A July edition had lots of election coverage on the front page and inside coverage ranged from business news to stories about Eastern Michigan unive rsity to news about millage efforts.

I'm not sure they're still doing it, but the last time I checked, the paper did a special business section in conjunction with the American Arab Chamber of Commerce on a regular basis, for instance. The paper is attractive, with a well-designed front page. And, of course, most importantly, the news is well-written and relevant to the residents of Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.
