The North Douglas Herald provides free newspapers to Douglas & Lane counties in Oregon. We mail free subscriptions to any one living in those counties and through pickup points across both counties. Even our paid subscriptions to anyone in the United States are only $12 yearly, which honestly does not cover the cost of mailing so they are basically free as well. The concept of free news and information for the public is very important to us. The North Douglas Herald takes it a step further and provides a QUALITY publication, printed on quality paper, in full process color, stapled for neatness and durability. We print the newspaper once a month and we pride ourselves in providing pertinent, local and interesting content that informs and entertains all month until the following issue replaces it. We rely 100% on advertising dollars to gather, print and distribute the Herald newspaper. Supporting our advertisers helps to support our cause and the North Douglas Herald thanks those advertisers for making it possible and our goal is to provide excellent service and exposure for supporting us. In this world of uncertainty and "Murphy's Law", we find that unforseen expences, unexpected costs and fluctuating revenues are a constaint drain on our ability to grow the mission of bringing you the news. It is a known and proven fact that printed newspapers are not a profitable or even, sometimes, a lasting medium in this age of social media, internet news, blogs and streaming media. We believe in having a printed publication that you can hold in your hands. You can fold it and highlight it with a pencil, or lay it down and come right back to it later. It's a tangible connection to the world around, informative, entertaining and convenient to use and peruse. A tenuous yet powerful window to look through.
