To Our Readers:
These are challenging times and our business — like so many others — is feeling the effects of major revenue losses due to advertising cancellations. We are therefore making some changes, which we hope will benefit all of us.
First, we are drastically reducing our advertising prices through June 30 for commercial businesses and changing the pricing structure completely for local non-profits. The reduction for commercial businesses is a full 50 % making our lowest rates just $25 per week or $75 for a month … plus we’re starting something completely new for non-profits.
See our New Pricing at this link.
Second, we have created a mechanism for readers to support our local, independent, online news business directly. Over the years, many readers have been kind enough to suggest we should do this but we have resisted. Now, however, in light of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our revenue and the fact that the online news landscape has changed dramatically in recent years with the vast majority of sites offering membership schemes and/or donation plans, it is time for us to change.
