BG Daily News

Ben Browning, Iparticipate 3


The BG Daily News is the local newspaper company in Bowling Green.  Their newspapers are not doing too great but they are not doing too bad either.  A lot of people still read the newspaper in Bowling Green, mostly old people, but they still get decent business.  Their website is up to date and very easy to get information and understand.  Its obvious that they get most of their income from adds.  While on the newspapers they have a lot of local adds.  On their website they have a lot of nation wide, big company adds.

It seems that the people of Bowling Green are a big fan of the sports section in the paper.  Especially the local sports, like their high schools.  I have found out that they discuss high school sports in their paper more than they discuss WKU sports team.  I find this interesting because WKU sports are pretty big and WKU is really good at sports. 

In the BG Daily News they talk about the local court system and the local sports quite a bit.  They do not really discuss WKU that much at all.  Obviously if something important happened on campus then it would be a big section in the paper, but if nothing important is happening at WKU then the paper does not talk about it. 

Overall I am impressed with the BG Daily News.  Their website is impressive with how updated it is.  I think their website is what is keeping them in business.  I do wish that they talked about WKU more because I feel that the citizens of Bowling Green would like more information about WKU.
