Daily newspaper still relevant

I still enjoy reading the Erie Times News. I especially like that several long time reporters still are onboard. Online reading is a convenient method too.

Erie Times News

I can not open it up on my one iPad. The other iPad works fine. I HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION. It says they have no record of it. I cannot get the phone number to call. My subscription is till January 2026

Could use more timely news.

Since USA Today took over the paper and went to mailing the hard copies news, sports is often two days after the fact. Kind of defeats the purpose of a newspaper.
