LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for public alert on newsprint tariff

Dear editor,

I really appreciate your letting us know about the tariff on newsprint (Reporter, April 12).

It’s a small thing, but important. We tend to focus on big issues, but little issues can certainly pile up and become a big issue and then it is too late to fix.

So, thank you.

However, I really do love your new online version of the Reporter.

I can read it anywhere, anytime and never have to throw it away.

The pictures and print are crisp and the color is perfect. So thanks.

(Thanks, for the nice comments. Much appreciated. Just to clarify, one point of that editorial is that if tariffs, or any other combination of economic pressures, force the hold-it-in-your-hands editions of community newspapers to go away, so do the online versions. Hard-copy advertising and readership, provides more than 90 percent of the revenue that enable digital versions to exist.— M.B.)
