It is a good place to start. - Anonymous employee Hickory Daily Record Employee Review

Whether you're an professional writer or just beginning an internship HDR is great place to refine and improve your writing skills. They are extremely flexible with interns, as they do not currently have a program in place for internships, your internship curriculum from school will be fine. The news room feels like a family once you get to know everyone and management isn't afraid to let you know that you are doing a great job. Catawba County is typically a conservative area, however, the paper is fair to both sides of the political spectrum.

As just a part-time worker I don't currently have anything bad to say about the paper.

Good leadership and pleasant co-workers

The newspaper business is no longer a stable work environment.
