Timaru Herald & South Canterbury Herald & Central S.I.Farmer

The local staple daily newspaper, good for local news and stories. The paper is somewhat thinner and more expensive than it used to be, however the Saturday paper is still a good look through, followed by the Wednesday edition. Can be home delivered or pick up a copy from many shops.

My grandfather used to write letters to this newspaper back in the day when it was a broadsheet, but I remember that their then-editor wouldn’t print his letters and their was hardly any letters to the editor on some editions.
But these days, it’s a tabloid paper and their own opinions are just pretty much the same as the ones on Stuff’s sister papers.

The herald has become thinner and thinner. We used to subscribe but no longer do. Only get the saturday paper periodically.

The paper all round is small, but it is a small town. I do get a little concerned at the amount of errors and grammar mistakes that are often in the paper, perhaps more proof reading required?

Paper definitely isn’t as interesting as it used to be, maybe new publishers or lack of stories
