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.

In print and online, Indy Week is the free weekly newspaper for the Triangle area. Formerly the…read moreIndependent Weekly but no more since 2012, it's a tabloid-format newspaper for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary. Available for pickup at more than 500 locations in the Raleigh Durham area, the circulation runs at around 200,000 according to the website. News, arts, music, food, events, this paper is plugged in to what's happening locally. I can't recall where I found my copy but I did manage to enjoy it. Interesting news about the area, specifically the "death-positivity movement" was an amusing read. And they have a crossword. That's awesome. Letters to the editor, classifieds, and a guide to the best of the Triangle. I'm a fan! [Review 12277 overall, 2061 of 2019.]

The Independent is about halfway between the News & Observer and the Carrboro Citizen in terms of…read moretone... They're independent, sure, but that doesn't mean everything they report on involves hemp. I like the Independent because it's thoroughly useful. There really isn't a page in the thing that doesn't have some sort of relevant report on what's going on around me, particularly in regards to concerts and other entertainment. Any time I've said in another review to keep your eye on something, this is a good tool for doing just that, they're extremely well connected. The one exception to this are their reviews, which I often take issue with... Unless you have strong past experience to go on, don't trust their opinions on movies and shows, chances are you'll disagree.

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!

This is a locally owned and distributed paper specifically geared toward Carrboro-- obviously as…read morethe title reveals. They have a section in the paper that I like called "Your Voices". It basically reaches out to the community with a question; for example in one of the editions the question was "What's your favorite place for BBQ". It's just interesting to see what people like and why. The paper also includes local ads, write ups on local spots-- old and new, a section dedicated to pets and one for kids too. They've also got a section called "Your letters", which is from people in the community. This is a full color paper that is priced as "priceless"-- which means you need to get a copy and get it autographed copy and put it in a treasure chest.

It's especially geared toward arts/entertainment/dining, so you're not likely to find any national news or even local board meeting minutes here. If you've never visited or lived in Carrboro, you're not likely to find it terribly interesting. I really appreciate that they have a section written in Spanish - it helps me practice my fading language skills and I'm sure the Hispanic community enjoys it, as well. All the writing is colloquial and there are tons of quotes from residents, as well. I must mention that I recently checked for information about the sustainability of their printing, and they didn't mention it anywhere in the issue. Kind of odd for a newspaper in one of the greenest towns in the state, but maybe I overlooked it.
