Wonderful news app and newspapers

I love my IndyStar app for both our local Indianapolis news and also the USA Today news! I fully support and appreciate the wonderful and talented journalists and brave editors, even more since the USA Today’s rare endorsement of a candidate who best represents their Common Ground series, Joe Biden. Thank youuu!

Indy Star

Please continue with the Print Edition of the Star, because I am not a fan of the e edition of the Star. I have been reading the Star for more than 50 years.

Mornings with the Star

I’m now 73 years old. In 1960 I became an Indianapolis Star delivery carrier in a small town, Coatesville, IN. The town had a population of around 700 and I delivered to around 120, so I knew about everyone. The Star was part of my identity. Surviving people of Coatesville to this day remember me as their Star paperboy. Over the years the Star was always part of my morning routine when I could get one to read, (I became an airline pilot with TWA and electronic editions were yet to be thought of). Now retired, I spend the first parts of my morning with the electronic print edition and am so glad you help me keep in touch with the community I love. Thank you Indianapolis Star.
