Last year we switched to on-line only for our newspaper. Tough decision for me as I always enjoyed the paper in print with morning coffee. Our route had troubles keeping a delivery person on a regular basis. So between going on vacation for a month and all other considerations I made the decision to switch over to on-line. Hard decision for me, a lot of adjusting at first, but now I view it as one of the better decisions I have made recently. Once I figured out all of the features and how to navigate, I love it. It’s there when I want to catch up and can still go back to check old editions. Good choice! (P.S. still trying to figure out what to line the bottom of my bird cage with.). Glenn

This is now so easy to navigate, plus I love reading the paper online. Never have to go out in the cold and snow to look for a paper edition anymore and don’t have to haul the old copies to recycling. Plus, the Live News updates are so convenient to check out. Kudos to those of you who are responsible for such easy access to what’s going on in Central Illinos!

I began subscribing to the News Gazette when I lived in Albuquerque. We had decided to move to Urbana and I wanted to become familiar with the area. Millie Otto’s column is sweet, though I wonder if she’s getting tired of writing it. I’ve always wondered why local news spends so much coverage on sports and so little on the arts. The Mailbag is a favorite of mine. I hope all the high school reporting turns the youngsters into regular consumers of the news. The editorial slant is conservative but the letters to the editor provide some balance. Generally, I believe it’s a good newspaper.
