Straight from Wikipedia
“ The newspaper's strategy is to be a print-first publication, with a recent Sunday issue including a 36-page insert listing the schedules of hundreds of clubs and recreation centers within the Villages, 48 pages of editorial content and 14 pages of classified advertising. The Daily Sun is also bucking the trend by loading its pages with advertisements for real estate, doctors, banks, golf courses, restaurants, and a wide selection of retail outlets”
Just skip reading all the advertising, that’s what makes it one of the last print-first publications still available at a reasonable price. The local news is extremely bias, but there is good national news and sports and there is usually an interesting feel good story. I enjoy sitting outside in the birdcage every morning with a hot cup of coffee and a real physical newspaper to thumb through.
