When the 416 Fire broke out,
When Bayfield High School completed an improbable sweep of the football, boys basketball and boys track and field state championships, the Herald’s sports team was there, play by play.
When record snowfall closed our mountain passes and stranded residents, the Herald’s news team was there.
That’s local news.
We’re entering a new fiscal year with new challenges and a continued effort to work harder and smarter in an industry that shares our efforts on the air, social media and internet.
And we need you to be our champion.
For the next seven weeks, the Herald is embarking on a subscription drive, with a goal of gaining 1,000 new champions of local journalism.
If you subscribe, thank you. For each friend or neighbor you refer, we’ll add a week to your subscription.
If you don’t subscribe, here’s your chance to become a champion of journalism and support a local business. For only $16 a month, you’ll receive full access to daily coverage at durangoherald.com and a newspaper delivered four days a week.
The award-winning Durango Herald has been locally owned since 1880 and owned by the Ballantine family since 1952.
Help keep journalism local in La Plata County.
Be a champion of local news.
