The Rutland Herald is the second largest daily newspaper in the U.S. state of Vermont (after the Burlington Free Press). It is published in Rutland. With a weekly circulation of just over 20,000,[1] it is the main source of news geared towards the southern part of the state, along with the Brattleboro Reformer and the Bennington Banner. The Rutland Herald is the sister paper of the Barre Montpelier Times Argus.

[edit] Notable Contributors
In 2001, the Herald won a Pulitzer Prize for the work of journalist David Moats [2]. Given for his series of editorials defending the civil unions decision in Vermont, this was the first Pulitzer given to the state for journalism.
Award-winning cartoonist Jeff Danziger started his career with the Herald in 1975 and still contributes editorial cartoons[3] and a weekly serial titled 'The Teeds: Tales of Agriculture for the Young and Old'[4].
Susan Youngwood's 2007 article[5] detailing the anti-Wikipedia stance of professors at Middlebury College has become a commonly cited description of the lack of expertise of Wikipedia editors. See Criticism of Wikipedia.

Retrieved on 2007-04-05. “Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Wikipedia - both its genius and its Achilles heel - is that anyone can create or modify an entry. Anyone means your 10-year-old neighbor or a Nobel Prize winner - or an editor like me, who is itching to correct a grammar error in that Wikipedia entry that I just quoted. Entries can be edited by numerous people and be in constant flux. What you read now might change in five minutes. Five seconds, even.” — Susan Youngwood
