UNDBIZ Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 At some point there is going to be an opportunity for a new local Grand Forks paper to start up and take the market. Quote

That should go down as the dumbest post ever on sioux sports! Who in their right mind would ever start up a newspaper in this day and age? Especially in a small market like grand forks. 1 Quote

I realize siouxsports doesn't have nearly the level of dumb posts as bisonswille so the standard is a little different, but if Jamestown can have a daily newspaper, I think Grand Forks can manage. We're not there yet (may not even be there in 15 years), but Grand Forks will start losing a lot more coverage eventually, as the focus will be on Fargo. Wouldn't even need a physical paper, just a website with Grand Forks news. Quote

You are moving the goal posts from what you originally posted, you were claiming someone was going to come into grand forks and start a newspaper. Newsflash, never going to happen, I know you will never admit it was a stupid statement. Have a nice day. 2 Quote

It’s a long shot but towns like Dickinson are getting mostly Fargo news in their newspaper and their subscriptions are dropping. Not because people don’t want the news paper, they just want local news. I can only imagine how Fargo news and sports coverage is going to be received in Grand Forks. Quote

Local will support local given a choice. Quote
gfhockey Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 The editor of he gf herald blocked me on Twitter after I asked her for a comment regarding the Saturday sports section 1 Quote
John W. Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Forum Communications strikes again......they've turned the Herald from a morning paper to an afternoon paper.......how long before WDAZ is completely shuttered..GF needs new blood for newspaper owners...Herald's market reach is about 250.000 people...from Baudette east to Rugby and south until it merges with the Forum..

Coming in and starting a brand new newspaper makes about as much sense as opening a blockbuster movie store. Both are, or in the newspaper case, within ten years, obsolete business. Understand? Quote

There will eventually be an opportunity for a local Grand Forks news service to start up and take the market. Better? Quote
Cratter Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Is WDAZ even a thing still? Is it like the printed Herald? Once a week? Quote

The only reason WDAZ is even part of their name is it's on their FCC license. (based on their tower between GF and Devils Lake) The anchors and reporters (make that 1 "reporter") on WDAZ already refer to themselves as WDAY news. Most of their stories originate from Fargo. They have 2 bad anchors who can barely read and 1 full time reporter who today chose to report on "what would you do if you won the lottery?" instead of an impactful local GF news story. That wasn't even low-hanging fruit. It's fruit that has already fallen on the ground! WDAZ has already been transformed into a bureau operation - they just act like they still have a "local" newscast. Shameful! 1 Quote

East Grand Forks vs Crookston in high school football was game not finished at press time. That’s pathetic. Quote

And that started at 6! But with deadline of 630 pm nothing makes it. The truly baffling part is how much they keep saying read online. I'm guessing a big portion of subscribers are older generation and I know my grandma doesn't go online. Also not every story is online. Even local sports stories. Guessing behind paywall??? Quote

The Sicatoka Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I wouldn't say a new "dead fish wrapper" but if the news sources (local radio stations and weekly news papers) from Devils Lake to Bemidji and Roseau to Hillsboro banded together like the NewsDakota does for the Carrington, Jamestown, Valley City, Oakes part of the state I'd say they have something. http://www.newsdakota.com/ Quote

Do the cities of Williston and Dickinson still have their own newscasts for their two stations in each? If so, Bismarck doesn’t have the power yet to take over Minot, Williston and Dickinson. Quote
