The Ledger - Lakeland, Florida

We finally ordered the Ledger online, when we found ourselves missing the Anderson column on Sundays. Instead of renewing home delivery in November, we will just stick to our online version.

Great newspaper. Having the ability to link through to USA Today helps bring a more comprehensive coverage. I would like more local news, and a more timely coverage on the local news that we do receive. Recently, there was a very unfortunate drowning of a young boy in a local lake. I did not see any coverage of this event in the paper (it was on broadcast news). Without casting ANY dispersion on the family of the victim, coverage would have allowed the community as a whole to rally around the family, and would have been a stark reminder to families in the community to stress to their children (and adults) the importance of never entering any lake without a life jacket on, wether from shore or from a boat. That was an opportunity missed.

This app Stinks! The digital paper is filled with debugs that show up out of nowhere. Once a recovery has been obtained, the paper backs up a page, and you must re-advance which is tricky. It is frustrating to try and read. Whoever designed this app should be fired. On top of that, what used to be a nice, hometown paper is largely gone. It has become a shell with few local reporters. It has been replaced with USA/Reuters and the left-wing stench of prejudiced reporting. As well, even the obituaries are so expensive that most go unreported. After over 40 years of subscribing, I’m done. I will get my news elsewhere, in a much easier format.
