We are proud to announce the launch of our new website
The eagletimes.com, arguschampion.news, and themessage.news websites have switched to Town News as a website provider. Due to this switch all current subscribers have to re-register new log ins and passwords with the website. However, the change of provider is to benefit subscribers in the long term. For now to fix the issues subscribers are having when trying to log in, each user has to reregistera new log in and password. Once you have a new log in then go under your user account and click manage subscriptions. There there will be an option to select current print subscriber. After selecting this option you will need three identifying pieces of information. Account number, last name, and zip code. If you do not have access to or know your account number please feel free to call 504-3157 for that information or email circulation@eagletimes.com. This process will need to bec ompleted for every user under every publication, The Eagle Times, The Argus-Champion, and The Message For The Week.

I haven't read the Eagle for years, even when it was available for free. I'm certainly not going to pay for the privilege of ignoring it.

ReplyDeleteNewspapers continue to die a slow death and pay walls are just another nail in their coffin.
ReplyDeleteI get all the news from Facebook and sometimes it's true.
