People with financial savvy have the paper delivered instead of buying it from a machine. The Times is $9.22/month for home delivery. Since the Sunday is $1.75, you are paying for that and receiving all the weekday papers for free. You don't waste gas driving to the newstand and can read the news with your morning coffee before you leave the house. The Post-Trib is even cheaper at $5.66/month.
Why do you even pay that much?
I get the Times and Post Tribune free.
how?
I go to work and low and behold, there is a Times and Post Tribune right there waiting for me to read it. Total cost to me? $0, total cost to someone else? $whatever they are stupid enough to pay
I remember when the Times was an afternoon paper, it was so much better, but now, it just sucks. If I want local news, I buy the Chesterton Tribune to get local coverage, since the times never covers anything east of the County Line. To the Times, Lake County is local in Porter County
