I absolutely agree with the above post. I hate reading didgital news, nothing like going out to the birdcage with a cup of coffee, putting on my cheaters, and reading an old fashion newspaper. I don't like reading a paper that is not actually on paper! Pretty soon, actual news printed on paper will go the way of blockbuster video rentals. The Daily Sun will be one of the last real newspapers to disappear, because of the demographics of the Villages as well as the circulation penetration and associated advertising revenue. Where we also live, up north, the price of printed newspapers has tripled in the last couple of years. The publishers are trying to shoehorn everyone into subscribing didgitaly. Not me, I would rather cancel. We always look forward to reading the very affordable and reliable Daily Sun when we are lucky enough to get to our Villages home.
