Wish I could read the Waterbury newspaper but they erected a pay wall years ago. Not sure if that subscriber model was smartest thing. Hearst seems to be doing the right thing by acquiring it, and for that the residents ought to be glad.
Hi Bill. Thanks for reading. It's a metered paywall. With free registration, the Rep-Am will allow you to read five stories per week. I agree that the acquisition by Hearst is better than simply shutting down, so I guess I'm grateful for that. But if local news is reduced to a trickle, then there is not much gain. We shall see. As we start the new year, you have my best wishes for continued success at the East Hartford Gazette
