When I lived in Oregon, away from cities and Metro areas, I had local delivery of the Oregonian, NY Times, and the Wall Street Journal for 20+ years. The same delivery person delivered all 3 papers, and was an independent carrier.

At the time of home delivery, I was also granted full digital access to all 3 papers. I had access to both a digital Replica Edition that I enjoyed instead of the app/website view of stories. That Replica Edition on a tablet, phone, or computer browser was my preferred method of reading stories. The Replica Editions were exactly the same as the printed paper.

When I moved to The Villages, I continued with that digital access, and I've tried to convince the Daily News people to do the same. No action on their part other than to share my request amongst their board.

I recently added delivery of the Sunday NY Times paper. It's delivered by the same Daily Sun people. It was less expensive to get reliable access to the NY Times Replica Edition with that home delivery, than a separate digital only subscription.

We travel a lot, and it's great being able to read the papers online. I wish I could do the same with the Daily Sun.

For those wondering, no, I don't read each and every newspaper everyday. I set my preferences to alert me to the stories and subjects I'm interested in, and if I have the time, I have easy access to the complete newspapers online.
