To our readers

nity the great place where you have decided to live.

But the fact of the matter is, the materials that it takes to get a newspaper to your front door – the newsprint, the ink, the transportation fuel – have skyrocketed in cost.

So while it’s not in our nature to make essential news less a ordable, we’ve come to the point where we must raise our prices. Beginning March 1, the price of a subscription to any of our paid publications and for all-access digital will be $85 per year.

(We will still o er a discount for readers over age 65.)

At less than $2 a week, we believe that’s still a reasonable priceto pay for news you often can’t nd anywhere else.

If you’re not interested in a subscription, consider a contribution to bit.ly/ give2CCM, or at the QR code on this page.

Local news is a public good. Raising these prices is how we’ll do even more for our communities in 2023. I am grateful for your support.
