The Lancaster News Subscription
To The Editor and Readers of The Lancaster News-
I am a resident of Lancaster. I enjoy reading the local newspaper online.
I am disabled and recieve enough disablilty to barely pay basic needs(elec.,water). I can not afford 75 cents, for a newspaper, one time a week! (not the 3 times a week, as it is published!) I have the online version, of our local newspaper, as a pleasure in life among a very few....and now, it's being taken away from me, due to being unable to pay for it! It's sad to know, I will not be able to read the concerns of our community, the events and the news, because i can't pay for it!
I'm aware, that everything cost money, to publish a newspaper, whether paper edition or online...but some of the people of Lancaster can't enjoy the simple pleasure due to lack of money. I live alone and this is one way to stay in touch with the outside world. It's so sad to me, that I am not able to read "my" Lancaster News, any longer!
Thanks for the pleasure, through the years, of the hard work given, so people caould enjoy the local news.

Since TLN has gone to a "Pay-per-view" online subscription only site, how has the revenues been? I see the Ads have gone way done on the site now and there are a lot more of the "click here to win an iPad" types that have replaced the local businesses that once advertised here. How much money did TLN save and how much did they lose by going this route? The only reason I am here is because my subscription before the change hadn't expired yet. Once it is up I will not be renewing that's for sure. I'll just keep mine with the Rock Hill newspaper, at least then I can read online if need be and the news is actually current and not several days late.....

I feal your pain. I think this is the dumbits thing the lancaster news has ever done. they dont put much in here to read. most of it you can get from rock hill or charlotte. I am not going to waste money for what they have and it is very little.I did like looking at it but it is not worth what they wont.they never tell what is importan you got to get that from some other news paper any how..I get more from facbook than the lancaster news
and they dont have that.It is realybad we have such a sorry new paper..
