From Bloomingpedia

Overview

The Herald-Times is the largest circulation daily newspaper in Bloomington. It is one of two daily newspapers in the city, along with the Indiana Daily Student. It used to be called the Herald-Telephone. It has a daily circulation of about 28,000 and a Sunday circulation of more than 43,000.

Online Presence

The Herald-Times originally had a free website where Bloomington residents could view daily news and search the online archive. In 2003, it transitioned to a subscription-based website that contains the same content.

It originally had an online forum, Hoosier Talk, that was quite popular in the late 1990s, but closed it down in 2003. Some people believe the site was shut down over concerns over the paper's legal liability when the online debate over the Scott Wells case became too heated. Many of the frequent posters migrated over to the Association of Monroe County Taxpayers and Bloomington Alternative Discussion Board where debate over many issues continues.

On August 20th, 2007, The Herald-Times launched a new Bloomington city directory/search engine called finditbtown.com.
