Barberton Herald charges for online content

An anonymous comment notes that the Barberton Herald now charges for online content.

Here’s the information from the Herald’s website:

The Barberton Herald has launched a brand new Web site. This interactive site is easy to navigate and has many new features including videos, public forum, games, movies, world news and more. Switch your subscription from the traditional print edition to the online edition FREE for a limited time. You will receive e-mail alerts when the newest edition is available online and when breaking news has been posted.

There are many benefits to making the switch. There will be no more delivery delays because of the post office. The paper will be delivered online on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays. The paper can be read page by page with magnification. Readers can interact by posting comments on the stories, up coming events on a community calendar and views directly on the web site. There are also many opportunities for the community to become involved by uploading videos, audio and photographs of their own.

WARNING!!!  The online Herald pages will become inactive for non-subscribers on April 1, 2010. You must have an online subscription to read the online pages.
