What Is The Grand Forks Herald Doing In Washington DC?

The Whistler  •  May 1, 2008

Carter Wood (a North Dakota ex-patriat) at the National Association of Manufacturers sent me this picture of a Grand Forks Herald newspaper vending machine in Washington DC last week and I forgot to post it.
Kind of neat to see a local newspaper out in DC, but kind of weird too. Given the advent of the internet you’d think North Dakotans in DC interested in some news from home would go online instead of tracking down a paper copy.
Or just have a paper copy mailed out via subscription.

    Funny, I noticed that too (not ND in specific, but other states). I saw local papers from a few different states when I was on Capitol Hill yesterday lobbying for a bill.

    Thanks, Rob. Some theorize it floated there in ’97, but I suspect someone just dumped it there, you know, hiding their apartment’s garbage purloined-letter style. You can’t buy the Herald in Washington as far as I know; I don’t even remember seeing the Strib in the newspaper/magazine stands.

    Hmm it very well could be that the GF Herald is less bad than the Washington Post….
