### 5/5 — Star Beacon-awesome

*2024-08-12*

I read the Star Beacon every day to learn about local news events! The site is easy to use. It makes me forget I thought I would never enjoy an electronic newspaper as much as a “real” paper, delivered to my door. The app allows me to read the Star Beacon no matter where in the world I’m traveling or what the weather is doing. And if I don’t have my glasses, I can just enlarge the print with my fingers.
