Leave a Review Arkansas Democrat
Still an exceptional newspaper.
One of your appeals to your readers when you went to the digital addition was that it would allow you to retain the exceptional feature writers that have drawn my wife and me to be regular readers of your paper for over 40 years. You kept your promise and we especially appreciate what you have provided us when we have visited friends and family in other metropolitan areas with a much greater population and see a newspaper being offered to their subscribers with less than 25 to 40 percent the content and a diminished quality of writing as that offered by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
We are really old school when it comes to reading books. We enjoy holding a book our hands, and the smell and feel of the pages (particularly the
older editions of some our favorite books.) Seldom do we read a book in digital form. But, we have been drawn to your digital format so much that often the Sunday edition delivered to our home is never opened.

Between the complete reporting from days of old, it is definitely worth the subscription. Home Delivery on Sunday and an I-pad included with subscription. This is the only way to stay completely informed of what is going on in all of Arkansas. Local news, statewide news, national news, sports. You wonโt find this on TV or on the internet. ๐Show lessReview
Few problems, but good news format and coverage every time. Being โold schoolโ, as I am, I would always prefer a hard copy during the week and on Sundays. This electronic business is only second best, but it is what it is. Thanks!Journalists that distinguish between news and editorial content
Probably the only unbiased news source I have access to now. Although some of the wires services insist on including opion in their news stories the demo gazette appears to do its best to limit theseDemocrat Gazette On-Line
Love it! Itโs never late or missed, we donโt have to go out in the rain to get it, and I can make the print bigger. I thought I would miss the print version. After a settling in period, I donโt even read the Sunday print version anymore.On-line edition
I like the new on-line edition better than the home delivery. My wife and I can read the paper at the same time. Also we donโt have to worry about presses breaking down or bad weather.Online version better than I expected!
Iโve gotten so used to reading the AD-G newspaper online that I seldom look at the Sunday โprintโ edition, which my wife still enjoys. I enjoy the overall reporting quality, although I miss Otus the Head Cat and his buddy Mike Storey! Keep it up.Needs some improvement
I like how the digital print is an exact replica of the print edition. There are some glitches at times. A couple of weeks ago the Parade magazine was in another section. I do think that the subscription rate is too high for a paper such as this. Maybe new subscribers get a better deal. Sometimes those of us who have been loyal customers should receive some type of discount as well. Not sure how long I will continue to subscribe.Show lessThe best paper left in the South,maybe in the country
Best local news coverage,best Saturday essay from Steve Strassle, best comics, best opposing views right and left. Best sports writing, best value for the money. Never afraid of using FOI to get to the truth. Any Arkansan or displaced Arkansan in any state can benefit with a subscription. And finally, only Sunday print edition delivered by the best carrier ever.Show lessSlow internet keeps us from enjoying the paper to the fullest.
Itโs just amazing to us that CenturyLink will not correct that issue in this day in time. We are rural, and I know thatโs an issue financially for the phone company, but thereโs so much publicity by the politicians and/or powers to be to provide good high-speed internet, thatโs its disappointing that never happens.
We are 3rd generation daily and Sunday paper readers living on a
Century owned farm, so moving is not an option. We do however have two daughters who did relocate after college primarily because of inadequate internet. Sad.Show less
