Hello All,
The yearly digital subscription to my local newspaper was coming up for renewal on 04/11/2026. The published rate was more than $300/yr. When I called to end my subscription, I was offered a half price discount to renew. I declined.
I was then asked to name the price at which I was willing to continue. I responded that nothing would entice me to do so, indicating that the newspaper's coverage consisted primarily of re-posted content from other newspapers and the local coverage was substandard.
I get my local news from
KSBY TV. For wider news, I to to
Scripps on-line and
apnews.com. Both are free.
When the news isn't absurd enough, I access
comics on line at
https://www.gocomics.com/. Though Go Comics offers a free service, I opted for a more full-featured subscription costing $38.05/yr.
The paid subscription allows me easier access to several hundred daily comic strips and the ability to save them on line.
Browsing the comics is a welcome antidote for the darker events of the day.
