The Capital Region is a better place because All Over Albany is in it…read more The editorial direction of this local website is always looking for interesting stories to tell about people, places, and things in the area. And not only that, but it has attracted a community of creative and curious people who truly love living in the area. Some of my favorite features are Deanna Fox's food finds every other Tuesday, and the Neighborhood Roundups of the best local blogs every Wednesday. Of course, I'm always hoping to see my own blog appear on that list. But it's great to see what others are writing too. AOA isn't afraid to go deep, and share nitty gritty details. It's not uncommon for the editors to share spreadsheets so readers can dive into data. And the AOA audience will do just that. Plus the publication hosts its own events, which are a blast. I only wish I could attend more of them. I will confess that the inspiration to organize an Official Yelp Event aboard the Dutch Apple came from missing out on the AOA cruise back from Hudson aboard the boat. Anyhow, checking out what is being written on the site is part of my weekly media diet. And I encourage pretty much anyone who wants to develop a deeper love for this place we call home, to check it out.

In any one issue, readers might find a leading scientist's discussion about climate change, a gay "New York Times" best-selling author talking about his latest memoir, an Oscar-winning director talking about filming in our neck of the woods, and where to find the best barbecue or sexiest brunch spots. Our typically upscale readers are progressive, gay, hetrosexual, male, female, old, young, locals, transplants, weekenders. They're smart. Wise. Hip. Edgy.

Additionally, my husband and I had our own small painting company. During those four years, we ONLY advertised in the Flyer and were busy all year around until we sold the business.

Long story short, NEVER EVER sign up for their online subscription service. My subscription costed…read morearound $13 for quite a while and honestly, I wasn't using the service all that much so I wanted to cancel. Website under maintenance. Ok, no big deal, I'll try again later. Every time I would try to cancel (tried numerous times over a period of a couple of months), the website was always under maintenance, making it impossible to cancel. It seems like it was only the account portion of the website that was down, everything else worked on the website Then a few months ago, my subscription rate doubled without notification. I eventually did get a notification four days AFTER they banged my credit card, so I contacted customer service requesting a refund and was assured I would receive my refund in 2-4 weeks. 2-4 weeks?? Unreasonable as I get a refund for anything else much faster than these idiots. Multiple emails later claiming they initiated the refund, I have never received it so they lie to your face constantly. At least my subscription is now cancelled but they have my money. Don't make the same mistake I made and avoid this company at all costs.

I have been a delivery customer of the TU for decades. I live on a main highway w a long driveway…read more Have I rec'd every paper, no. I have even seen a lady up the road taking my paper before I could get it! I settle for E edition when the delivery doesn't arrive or is late, which is seldom. These complaints re delivery, cancelation are valid and should be addressed. Newspapers all across America and the world are folding and according to surveys it has nothing to do with delivery or content. Primarily it is due more to the 24 hr news cycle on cable and the internet. A population that doesn't read and is only interested in agreeable news doesn't help. Several "fact checking" sites rate the most watched cable outlet as the least reliable for truth in reporting, scary. Your problem will eventually disappear along with the "Free Press".

Long-time subscriber. I received an email stating that effective 7/11 my subscription prices was…read moregoing up from $33 a month to $44 a month. The reason given was "algorithm pricing using your personal data." One week ago, New York State passed the One Fair Price Act which would outlaw algorithm pricing. The bill is not yet signed by the governor. This seems like a desperate last minute attempt to raise prices on their customers before the One Fair Price Act goes into effect. It seems illegal. I logged into my account to remove my credit card so that they could not auto-renew my account at the higher price. I was unable to do that online because they no longer give you control over your own credit card. I attempted to terminate my membership and they no longer give you the ability to do that online. Very deceptive practices! And possible illegal.

Since that time, I am receiving a daily newspaper but no paper on Sunday. Today is the second Sunday I am missed. I asked Friday if we are missed again today, what number should I call to get a paper. I was told 518-395-3060. I was on hold for 20 minutes, figuring out after that amount of time, there is no one to answer that phone. We have received the Gazette for approximately 50 years. This is the worst service I can imagine. I'm ready to quit once and for all. Can anyone who knows what they are talking about and promising, do anything about this?
