Subscribe to your local newspaper even if just digital version.

Your very freedom may depend on it.

When this hedge fund buys local newspapers, democracy suffers

Research shows that when local newspapers disappear or are dramatically gutted, communities tend to see lower voter turnout, higher polarization, and an environment in which misinformation can take hold.
We purchase the digital version of our newspaper locally and the physical Sunday paper and with tip it is only $28 a month.
I sigh in your general direction.

Agreed. I subscribe digitally to my local paper, to the Wichita paper, and the NYT, WaPo and a couple others.

Agreed.

There are people around here who insist on how informed they are, yet dig in their heels and refuse to pay for journalism.

More entitlement mentality.

I subscribe to my local paper.

It's necessary to get that local fire news. Lately that has included the local Covid news, because our local Covid news has been kind of like a raging fire. The almost worst in the state.

I get the Washington Post and Marin Independent Journal on line at home. I read the online versions of NYT and WSJ which are available through the Marin City Library. I read the LA Times on line.

Our local paper subscription includes both print and electronic versions. I fear it would cease to exist if not for the government required publications in the legal section of the paper.

I subscribe and enjoy reading the newspaper but fear it is not going to last many more years in it's current form.
