Since going pretty much all digital, I think the newspaper is much better than it was before…read more But!!! I just received an email telling me the annual subscription price for the E edition was going to more than double. I am currently paying $2.50 per month and the new rate is 5.08 per month That is a pretty insane increase! I will probably end up paying it, because I can. But many many many people will drop the service. Kind of dumb!

It has been 5 years since I last rated The Bee. Still no way to give it a minusbStar and from…read moreother reviews I am not alone. They just charged my credit card for $57 , within my permission. I called immediately and they told me they have a "no refund" policy. Any wonder why they are going belly up. Two/three day old news. I have seen school newsletters better than The Bee. Looks like others have had the same experience. Run them out of town.

We hired Steve for our company Christmas party. He was both professional and personable from the…read moreonset of signing the contract to the end of the party. Everyone enjoyed his caricatures and thought it was one of the highlights of the party. He asked each person/couple what their likes were so that he could incorporate it into the pictures (mine had my husband and me with our dog at the beach), which made them even more special. Because the drawings were so popular, Steve stayed 2 hours longer than we originally contracted for and did so gladly! I highly recommend Steve for any of your party plans.

What's worse than email spam? How about paper spam?…read more Every now and then I'll get a stack of paper spam, a.k.a. the phone book, delivered to my house. Today I got another issue of the Valley Yellow Pages (put out by AGI Publishing). Seems like they send me one every 3 years despite my repeated attempts to opt out. The yellowpagesoptout.com site (listed on the back of the book) still shows my preferences set to not receive any of my three local phone books, including the Valley Yellow Pages. And I have old emails that confirm my selections. None of this matters for AGI. They must be hurting so much for business that they're sending phone books to every household, even those that have opted out. They might as well increase their distribution even more by dumping a few truckloads of books into the bay, seeing as how they have no concern for the environment. When I need to look up business information, I do it online. I only hope that businesses stop advertising with AGI so that this company can meet its rightful end. Until then, I guess I'll have more spam to look forward to in 3 years.

I stopped receiving this paper about a year ago. Then…read moredecided I would take it out again so I would have something to read with my morning coffee. I went in on Friday, paid for a year, and I was looking forward to Saturdays paper. Walked outside in the morning to get the paper and guess what? It wasn't there!! I called a friend because I remembered there are phone numbers you can call if you don't get your paper. I called that number starting at 7:00 am someone answered around 9:00 or 9:30 am. I told the lady who answered I didn't get the paper. She said she would contact my carrier and have it delivered to me. Today is Sunday and still no paper. Now I remember why I stopped my subscription the first time!! Hopefully the service gets better or I'm getting my money back and going with the Bee.

The Kerman News is no worse than any small town newspaper with limited staff and finance. Mark, who…read moreedits and writes most of the paper, is very bright and, to my knowledge, has never intentionally lied during the 30 years I've been here. Having majored in journalism a lifetime ago, I can say the Cannons are observed, there is ongoing integrity and the schools, children, farmers, business community and citizens are all well served. I have even considered, in my retirement, volunteering to cover some items for the paper. That is how much I admire the clear integrity of the paper.
