Q: Why has this decision been made?
A: AIM Media Indiana’s mission is to produce valuable journalistic content that engages audiences and improves the communities we serve. Online is where the majority of people are consuming our content, and that demand continues to grow.
Most of our advertising partners have communicated that they prefer to deliver their marketing messages via specific print days, which will now coincide with our new delivery schedule.
Lastly, like everyone in the country, we are feeling the impact of record inflation and want to minimize passing costs onto our customers. We understand they are getting hit from all angles, and we are thankful they continue to support our organization.
The subscription is for daily news content, and we will continue to keep subscribers informed through our website and online editions in addition to the two print editions.
Q: What does this mean in relation to current subscription rates?
