Dear friends,

We proudly reintroduce The Courier-Gazette, The Camden Herald and The Republican Journal to the newsstands and reopen the VillageSoup Internet portal, bringing you the latest in news, sports and entertainment.

The model of free news in a small community newspaper has proven to be unsustainable. Readers can continue to access the biz profiles, specials of the day, public events and the headlines at no charge. For readers wanting full access to news and sports a small fee will be charged (only 8 cents a day!).

The price of the printed newspapers has dropped from $1.50 to $1.00 on the newsstands. We will charge readers $49.95 annually to get a newspaper mailed to their homes in Knox, Lincoln or Waldo counties with an additional $9.95 to include complete access to VillageSoup on-line. Internet only access will be available for $29.95 annually, individual articles at 99 cents per story. We also will offer senior and semi-annual rates to help fit your budget.
