Herald should not neglect print readers

Herald, please stop “dissin” your print readers. I am a longtime subscriber (27 years) to the printed version of The Durango Herald. Like many others, I still prefer starting my day by holding and reading a newspaper to that of reading it online, which forces me to spend even more of my time on a computer.

Over the years, the Herald has changed. It is now delivered later to me in the morning. It contains more writing errors (typos, grammatical and spelling), and it is narrower in comparison to its older version. The latest annoying innovations are those of new ways to advertise that include sticky notes that obscure parts of the news and the sleeve-like advertisement attachments to each section.

I understand that newspapers need advertising dollars, but can you please find less annoying ways to advertise?

I still enjoy the newspaper but could do with fewer of these distractions to what otherwise are well-written articles.

Please do not neglect your print readers in favor of your online readers.

Jim Cross
