Amish newspapers thrive in digital age

Saturday's Wall Street Journal carried a front-page story on newspapers that cover news from the Amish and Mennonite communities, including The Budget, which is published just down the road in Tuscarawas County.

The WSJ observed, "While many newspapers are struggling and competing with the Internet, the Budget isn't. Its 18,000 subscribers for the most part don't text, email, have computers or smartphones. They use the Budget, which is mailed to their homes, to keep them informed, post notices or exchange helpful hints."
