Wrong address, wrong address, wrong address, won't let me only post that it's at the wrong address, wrong address, wrong address

Dont expect them to be in their office when they say they are open. They leave early and do not stay there untill 5 like their doors and website say. read more

The T-S has certainly seen it shares of ups and downs. Its the only game in town but I would encourage newspaper readers to check out local blogs or go have a cup of coffee, sometimes you can get better news coverage on blogs or local coffee shops. The T-S has incredible potential to be better. Write to the editor and make suggestions on how to make our local news coverage even stronger! read more

If I could give it no stars I would. They just sent a very poorly written notice to increase the subscription by $5. They are a prepaid no refundable subscription. There notice is dated 9/4 but it didnt arrive at our house til 9/21. Thats 17 days to get to Fortuna. It arrived 2 days after they billed our credit card for the increase price and 10 days before they have ever billed our card..I cant cancel til 9/23. If they had billed my card on the correct date that they have billing it for 5 years, I would have cancelled and they would not have gotten my $21.50...Interesting how that works. That includes their new charge of $4 a month for their special additions that come out 4 times a year..So your paying $9 extra dollars for each of those special additions..of which you can opt out, but they assumed you wanted it and you have to call to opt out. I am not even sure that their non refundable policy holds because digital media didnt take them over til June of 2016. I'd keep them for $17.11 a month (less the special addition price) but when they falter again (when they have to pay their home delivery people in a year), we will be subjected to the same these tactics. read more

The TS killed off The Fortuna Beacon and they may as well jump into the same hole. What HUMCO does not need is yet another left-leaning (no) news publication but that is unfortunately what TS has become. And do not even ask about the outrageous subscription price. read more

It's no wonder reader ship is down. Half of the paper vending machines in McKinleyville won't eject a newspaper and home delivery is a joke. read more

A few years ago, the Times-Standard went from running everyday to 6 days a week. In addition, home delivery was suspended in certain areas and the paper continues to look more emaciated every year. As it slims down, the cost inches up, making it a less attractive medium to read or advertise in. The reporting is fairly good, but the editorial page suggests that management is left leaning. I've made suggestions to the various Publishers who have come and gone, but they get their marching orders from the corporate office who seem to be out of touch with our situation. I think some of their problems of downsizing could have been averted with proper management and with putting together a better ad sales force. Since that doesn't seem to be in the cards for them, I don't expect this paper to be around a lot longer. read more
