Online newspaper

Very accessible and easy to read as well as search articles

Easier on old eyes.

I still get the print edition. It is absolutely necessary for our community but I need a magnifier to read it. I find the online edition much easier on old eyes.

Newspaper layout

I like the old-fashioned newspaper layout, to read page by page!

Gainesville Sun app

A reliable and efficient way to view the news, especially if you get up real early before your delivery person has your paper for pick up. I also love it when I’m out of town, I can view the newspaper and keep up with local news.
POPaul’s opinion

Worthless

We pay for daily home delivery so you would think we would get the on line access to Gannett papers as promised. We only get by calling every time we want to access it! They walk us through system - password, etc. and say ok you’ re connected — only lasts a couple of tries!
