    You need to subscribe to your own paper. If we don't stand behind our own product, why should we expect anybody else to?

    How can we sit here and wring our hands about nosediving circulation numbers when we can't even get a group of journalists to subscribe? No wonder our business is dying.

    I get mine and it costs like two bucks out of every paycheck.

    I subscribe. Signed up when I signed on.
    Not that big of a deduction every 2 weeks.

    you're kidding, right?

    who wins when employees religiously read their newspaper from cover to cover each day?

    i guarantee you that newspapers aren't dying because the people who work there don't have subscriptions.

    Believe it or not, there are some people who NEED that two bucks out of every paycheck, whether it's weekly or every other week.

    If you get paid every other week, that's $1 per week, or $52 per year. That'll pay for a couple of tanks of gas for the car, or a night out with the wife, or a couple holiday presents for the children. Why should a company that has made plenty of profit (at least until recently) receive any more of an employee's money when that employee already is busting their butt for them?

    I suppose there are always extenuating circumstances ... or "protest" reasons not to subscribe.

    But, in general, I stand by my post.

    True. So what?
