The strib will now charge for paper invoice!

$2.50 per billing cycle.

Yes, I use paper invoice and checks in snail mail. One way to support the ever shrinking postal service..

One has to wonder whether the days of the strib, at least the paper issue, are numbered. They already charge for the first seven days of vacation hold..

are what caused us drop our 40+ year subscription to our local McClatchy daily last year. Delivery issues were a part of that also.

We wanted to support it and hated to drop it, but it was like feeding a dead horse. With the pace of the declining changes, I don't see how they can survive for much longer.

The St Louis paper has been charging for paper invoicing for a while, but like question everything, I write a check and mail it in.

I get the STL Post-Dispatch every day and the New York Times Fri-Sun. I love a daily paper!!!
