So… the Diminishing Pest, the only local paper, is now unavailable on-line, unless you are a paid subscriber.

Hello? DP? Your paper SUCKS. Which is why I refuse to buy it (except for the pre-election candidate information.) And the website is also awful, however it was one of the only ways to keep up with local news.

Now, we’ll have to look to on-line papers from the surrounding area (Fairmont Times West Virginian, The Charleston Daily Mail, The Charleston Gazette,) and keep up with The Daily Athenaeum, which I do like, and read regularly, however it is a student newspaper, which means that it’s not always published.

Here’s hoping that advertisers switch their money to the DA, which will remain available to everyone.
