The Patriot Ledger has been a vital part of the fabric of our community since its inception, bringing readers the reliable, local and passionate journalism you know and expect. I might just get a digital subscription to USA Today if it means I can access other Gannett papers. Ledger subscribers will be able to access any Gannett e-edition in the country, including the flagship USA Today. I have to say, though, that there are a few things in here that sound interesting. It’s also very bad news for the paper’s loyal newspaper carriers I reproduce a message from one of them below. It’s hard to see much good in here given that Gannett continues to cut its newsrooms and its coverage. The message to Patriot Ledger subscribers, from a post office box in August, Georgia, was provided to me by a customer who lives in Quincy. I’m not coming up with others, but that doesn’t mean they’re not out there. For instance, when I plugged some of the language from the Ledger announcement into Google, I discovered that Gannett switched to mail delivery at The Ithaca Journal of New York and The Banner-Press of Brenham, Texas, in December. It doesn’t seem like an all-at-once sort of thing. Of course, this comes on top of the pending closure of 19 Gannett weeklies in Massachusetts, the end of Saturday print editions at many of the dailies, and numerous other cuts - including at the Ledger itself, which will switch from a print paper to an e-edition on Mondays.Īs best as I can tell, the move to the USPS is being rolled out slowly at a few Gannett dailies here and there. You’d think there’s no way they will receive that day’s paper until the next day, or possibly the day after, although, as you’ll see in the message below, the Ledger is promising same-day mail delivery. What this means for print customers is unclear. Recently I learned that The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, a Gannett daily and, back in the misty past, one of the best medium-size papers in the country, is going to end home delivery and switch to the postal service instead. I’ve been trying to find out how widespread this is, but to no avail. ![]()
