That's insulting to the Herald almost. They at least had a catchy jingle, a print edition, and writers who are willing to put their names on a byline.

They do share the same tabloidy sensationalist approach to things but GoLocalProv really steps up the game where they clearly have targets and approach it in a way that is just hard to call real journalism. A few years ago, someone splashed some paint on a Columbus statue and they wrote a whole-ass article because one of their former writers that occasionally freelanced music reviews for the ProJo had a Facebook post joking about it.

It's pretty clear who they pick and choose as their targets and the coverage is beyond slanted on anything political.

Crime-wise, they'll jump on anything the police department feeds them and usually limit their reporting to the initial details that the police email them and no real follow-up or actual reporting.
