(16,926 posts)and got "dumped" in April (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) because they must not have enough people around me to deliver. They did offer me a 2-month "on-line" rate but I'm "old school" - I want newsprint on my fingers and working the crossword puzzle with a pen (yeah, mess up and you're done!).
They had included a free on-line subscription to the WP with my own subscription so I had no trouble doing the links. But when they dumped me I lost it all.
I'm with 'ya - I'd gladly pay to keep reporters reporting in the manner that they were to be doing - free, independent REPORTING, advertisers, owners, and politicians be damned! Bring it to my door - I'll subscribe. On-line, well, again, I'm "old school" - but I'll consider something if it keeps them working/digging/independent!
