As the only daily newspaper publishing in McHenry County specifically about McHenry County news, events and issues, the Northwest Herald receives plenty of feedback from residents.

On a daily basis, community members call or email us with news tips, with thank yous for something we’ve printed or with criticism about a missed opportunity, a poorly written or edited story or a position we’ve taken on our Opinion page.

Feedback on the latter is rarely more abundant than during election season, when the Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board publishes its endorsements in certain contested races.
