They almost never update the online version now they're charging for it. I accidentally clicked on an article and I received a message stating that I'd used all my free views. I didn't know about this policy change until today. I guess you can only read three articles for free. But it didn't say if it was 3/month or a week or forever. Oh well I only read the obituaries anyway. ETruth used to be my home page but not anymore. I understand that they have to make money but they don't update their content online often enough for me to pay. The last time their court/crime section was updated was in October! It's $3 for each day that you want to view articles if you don't want to sign up for the subscription. No thanks read more

If they weren't the only option in town we never would have used them in the 1st place. It is impossible to get anyone on the phone to speak to them about advertising let alone find a phone number for advertising beyond just placing a classified ad on their website. I Tried 3 × 2 pay them for a newspaper ad In regards to a yard sale. Their policy is that they do not run the ad without payment prior to print date. Since I had not paid I assumed they would not run it. I made plans to advertise elsewhere. 4 months later they're asking me to pay for an ad they ran when they should not have according to their policy. read more

My grandparents were devout Elkhart Truth customers for MANY many years. My grandmother is disabled, and she was blessed with a mail carrier who would go above and beyond for her. This woman would drive her jeep up my grandmas long, hilly drive to leave the newspaper sitting for her on her front porch swing every single day. Last year, that all changed when a new driver started taking her rout. This driver doesn't care to accommodate her handicap, let alone even bother putting the paper in the mailbox. Then it got to the point where she wasn't getting a paper but once or twice a week! Being a yearly subscriber, that is totally unacceptable. Several calls to management yielded no results and no changes. So now she gets the SB Tribune. DAILY. read more

The Elkhart Truth is supposed to be a news source. One would think, that different perspectives would be provided throughout the various articles. I understand personal beliefs affects someone's writing, but the bias present in ALL of the articles has stripped The Elkhart Truth of its reputation as a reliable news source. If only that were all! Contacting this company and voicing your concern over their overuse of personal bias and lack of factual information (or sources for their information used) will get you a generic response and effectually achieve nothing. Myself, and others, have also tried leaving comments about our concerns over this. But, as stated in a previous review, if it is not in favor of the bias they present (or calls to their attention different perspectives that need to be addressed/represented) - those comments will be deleted without notice or proper response from the company. Do not give these people your business. Or Trust. read more

Unreliable source for a paper. Don't waste your time or money . It took 130 years to bring this paper to it's knees. RIP

As I sit here at 1:30 WITHOUT (AGAIN) a Sunday paper and no response from anyone at the paper - I take time to write about the poor performance of the Elkhart Truth! We have been receiving the Elkhart Truth for several years, but since it was recently sold (again) this year - it has really taking a 'dive'. For starts - they moved the printing to St. Joseph Michigan - the middle of the snow belt - the delays in the paper being published or delivered to their Route Drivers have become an absolute JOKE! Either the press is breaking down - there is an unexplained delay - or there is the Snow to deal with because of the poor location. We have had to call repeatedly to complain - THEN - there is the quality of the news reporting - on just about any given day, you can see that there is very little proof-reading being done. No real local 'flavor' about food, activities or information on local restaurants - losing Marshall King and 'Flavor 57. along with some other of their food and destination writers have really LOWERED this paper. It does seem that their Elkhart news does stay on target - but not enough to really make it that great to read. Then too - no 'Doonesbury' or 'Non Sequitur' or other daily thought provoking cartoons is very depressing - not even in their Sunday paper - their cartoons are even pretty pathetic! It is time to switch papers - Goshen News now I think - along with the South Bend paper on the weekend just for a nice overview! May the Elkhart Truth 'Rest in Peace" - as it does not seem to have the will to 'live' Sincerely, read more
