The Herald is a daily newspaper for Mercer County, PA, which is located between the cities of…read morePittsburgh and Erie. The journalists cover local news for Mercer County as well as a few surrounding counties. They also include articles, podcasts, and videos about state and national topics. The newspaper's website contains sections for news, sports, obituaries, editorials, classified advertisements, social events, legal notices, puzzles and games, etcetera. I first encountered The Herald months ago when I was researching my ancestry. I used obituaries to determine familial relationships and to build my family tree. The Herald's website contained obituaries for several of my distant family members. To access the obituaries, I had to pay a fee. The following options were available: home delivery starting at $27.99, a monthly digital subscription for $19.99, one article for $0.99, or a day pass for $1.99. On two separate days months apart, I bought day passes. I experienced no problems with the functioning of the website.
