You might have noticed that this issue of the Sewickley Herald looks a bit different than previous ones.
It does, and it’s part of TribLive’s continuing effort to focus on hyper-local community news.
“We’ve carefully considered the feedback from our valued readers and advertisers, and their overwhelming desire for more localized news has been a driving force behind our recent efforts,” said Trib Total Media president and CEO Jennifer Bertetto. “Our newly redesigned publication is a testament to this commitment. You’ll notice a substantial increase in local journalism, featuring compelling stories and captivating local photos. We’ve also reintroduced popular reader favorites, such as puzzles, engagement announcements and school news to cater to your diverse interests.”
Each issue will feature a Neighbor Spotlight on someone in the community who is making a difference — be it a public figure or a person who lives down the street. A regular business profile highlights Quaker Valley’s unique, independent retailers. Additionally, the Sewickley Herald has bolstered its municipal and school district coverage to bring readers stories and information that impact their daily lives.
“The future of news at Trib Total Media is local. While we continue to cover international, national and regional stories, our focus is on owning the local conversation — right down to the school district level in the communities we serve,” said Trib Total Media chief revenue officer Matt Miller. “We believe in the power of community, and we’re counting on the people and businesses in these neighborhoods to help us transform our local newspapers into something truly special.”
The content in the pages of the Sewickley Herald each week is print-focused — meaning you will read it in print before it goes online. The only exception will be breaking news stories, which can be read on sewickleyherald.com.
“We’re upping our game when it comes to the Sewickley Herald,” said TribLive executive editor Luis Fabregas. “It’s a publication that readers have known for years and they expect content that is new, compelling and memorable. We must produce a paper that reflects our changing communities.”
