Who the heck still reads a paper? Why? This rag is nothing more than a fake local paper funded by leftists that control Gannett. (The same owner as USA Today.). Let it die…The Herald-Times of Bloomington is transitioning to be delivered via USPS:

Same here. I used to love reading the paper when we had a small local one, there were always stories involving people or places you were familiar with, now it’s just a quick mention that barely even gives a vague idea of what happened. Why in gods name would anyone pay for that.
Where are you getting it for free? I need more than the usps usually delivers. May subscribe for a month or two just to generate a stack.
I wonder if required government notices could potentially keep it afloat?
Like legal notices? Yeah, I suppose that’s a possibility.
If you've had to place a notice you'd be shocked what they charge you. We had to last year. We had one of those absentee summons to post where you have to do it 3 weeks in a row and it was over $400.
That's why we unsubscribed from the print paper, that and got a good deal on the website subscription. Hell, the building that housed the paper was bought by the local school system so I don't know if the writers who are still local work from home or what.
I don't know. The local paper does a hard copy (in the paper) plus makes them available for free online.
Yes. To sell the contents of a storage unit for which the tenant has stopped paying, statelaw requires an ad be put in a paper of general circulation in the county of the sale for two weeks in a row. The ads plus the affidavit of publishing run about $350 in my ruralish county. And this is without putting the ad in the official “legal notices“ section, which I think is even more expensive.
Yep, the “free press” getting a sop from government…
