WM ICIPAL COVERRGE Hot - . pS] trans fl tet nbtton:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank those
individuals who participated in our recent Readership Survey.

The overall results ‘are very significant | statistically. ;

We have received ‘a response’ of ‘about. 6% of our daily an
elrculation. This gives us a very accurate idea* of what our
community would like the Herald to be. .

We are including in graph ‘and numeric form the. tally of the. ;
Readership ‘Survey. - Please. review. this: information.

We are aiso including some. of tha ‘comments. the -readarship.-
4neluded with their returned questionaire. We have”

- excluded all items ofa Persona] nature and are publishing -

at this point only a. small part of the received comments. Tae
We feel the items selected ‘reflect : a positive: ‘out look | ote

The “Comments” section. of the: Readership survey asked: +,
_question “How can the Herald improve ita’. service’ to ‘our
‘region?" ‘The responses to this question. covered.a Wide =.
spectrum, however, certain themes appeared often enough |

' that, combined with the taliy outcome, ‘several broad _

conclusions can: ba drawns . oe : :

1. The readership of the Heraid wants a ‘comunity paper

: with the emphasis on. community news.” They -do not want.
local newspaper that intersperses lecal- issues with 7

this news is readily available via other media, especially
radio and television, which have: the advantage of. being

‘more or less, “up to tha minute". If Terrace '* Kitimat.
and area residents do ‘want to. read their national and
international néaws, the Vancouver Sun and Province are
readily available, and have a craditability and ‘the’

2. “British Columbia is politically polarized, ‘a fact. which.
creates an underlying tension which has become ‘
uncomfortably evident in thig town in the past couple of
years. The Herald has been a devisive element in this
polarization, emphasizing differences rather than looking:
. for harmony '- the paper should: ‘develop. a. positive.
editorial: outlook.

3. When. the Herald does deal with controversial local issues,”

-it should attempt to be as- objective as possible. Raising
public interest on these issiies ig one of the functions of.
‘a community paper, but it‘is important that all sides be
explored in equal depth. If bias does get in the way of -

‘comparing. the reality of. the’ Herald with the ‘coments ana”
Statistics survey, it would seem that the present staff -
resources are spread too thin to produce a daily paper. with
the desired local content. ‘The pressures of a daily deadline
_ dictate that only the most prominent events in town. are
covered. Investigative | journalism, in particular, takes an .
- extravagant amount in time in return: for the amount of —
