Same thing happened here... Both my next-door neighbor and I were
long-time subscribers to the local paper... Suddenly the price jumped
maybe half-again or more.... and their rationale was that they'd added
lots of digital content, so the paper was worth lots more...
Unfortunately, she was on a limited income, and didn't even have (or
even expect to ever have) a computer, let alone do anything online...
And when I called to inquire about if there was any other option, for
those who couldn't access the digital, I was told, nope, that's just the
way it is...  So they ended up losing two customers, as I wasn't
interested in having to pay for that digital subscription along with my
paper delivery.... Even with a computer, and access, I wasn't into
reading my news online at all....
