(3,648 posts)These papers provide excellent and vital local news and issues coverage and have great photographers and columnists, too. I know what they do to support good government at all levels.
I am old, so I subscribe to two print (actual print!) newspapers. One, the Kennebec Journal, is on my doorstep 6 days a week. One, from my old hometown in NewYork, the Niagara Gazette, comes in two batches a week by US mail. In these times, I dont take this for granted.
Yeah, I subscribe to three online news sites, too. Journalism is worth supporting.

(28,663 posts)I read the Courier on-line to stay connected with "home"...I think they have the best approach in using both internet and paper to get the news/important local stories reported and covered.
