Charleston Gazette-Mail

The Gazette-Mail is one of the best local newspapers in the whole country. Other than the news section, which tends to make me open some stories I don't want to read just to get into the news, I like the format.

Been reading Gazette-Mail all my life, in fact learned to read from the Sunday comics. They were two full pages, front and back. Now, read online, 400 miles away. Like an old friend every morning with coffee.

I think The Charleston Gazette/mail is one of the best actual news papers I have read. I subscribe to the paper mainly for the comics and puzzles and crosswords. I was very disappointed today to find fewer comics and no puzzles or crosswords. If this is a permanent reduction then I will cancel my subscription.

Too many reprints from that liberal rag, the Washington Post. I would think more balanced coverage would increase sales, but it appears the purchasers have some sort of financial death wish and refuse to budge. Last time I checked, WV leans conservative while the Gazette-Mail continues to accelerate its demise.

Has previously been a reliable, quick source for local news. Recently the pop-up ads make it impossible to make it through even one full sentence. Pretty sad.
