     Where We Work

            Grand Forks Herald -                           Website

The Grand Forks Herald is the main daily newspaper in
the Grand Forks region. Coverage area ranges from
Devils Lake to Bemidji and from the Canadian border to
the border of Cass County.

The paper gained fame, and a Pulitzer Prize, for its
coverage of the 1997 flood that devastated Grand
Forks.

Full-time employment is about 150, supplemented by
about 40 part-timers. CWA Local 7304 represents
full-time employees in the newsroom and press and mail
room. Some employees at the Herald are represented by the Teamsters and the GCIU.

Daily circulation is reported to be 32,509 and Sunday
circulation is 33,729.

Currently, the Herald is in transition to new
ownership. The McClatchy Co. of Sacramento has
announced plans to buy the paper as part of its
purchase of the Knight Ridder network. But McClatchy
management has said it intends to divest the Herald as
soon as possible. CWA's Newspaper Guild is one
interested buyer.
