Herald’s phone app delivers same great coverage well

Things are changing fast; what an understatement! Especially with The Daily Herald. I read it on the phone app (best one I’ve ever used) daily with my first cup of coffee. I can read each article just fine. Great job there.

And kudos to The Herald reporting staff for balanced, timely, interesting and, rare in this day and age, highly informative coverage of local, state, national and world affairs

Most recently, I now get an email segment from The Herald’s Jerry Cornfield (whom I’ve followed since moving to the area 33 years ago) with updates on political happenings.

Despite my intense distaste and disgust for our insane two-party self-destructive political system I do appreciate factual, unbiased information. Extra kudos to you, Mr. Cornfield. Always ahead of the curve.
