The content online regarding local news has always been a loved, local go too source!…read more Reason for 3 stars, the advertising department, I've worked for many large newspaper publishing companies. I was looking to place a display ad "advertising" and classified which is one of the driving forces of revenue in the print industry. I called August of 2020 for 2 weeks, not only did they not answer a voicemail picked up "I'm calling to spend money" and no one picked up in 2 weeks. Finally the end of 2nd weeks an account rep decided she could get around to calling me back, at that point I was thankful my background in marketing and media was still sharp, not only did they lose out on revenue, I saved the money and found a happy new homeowner through alternate online sources! That's sad, wonder how much revenue they lose weekly conducting business as if we're still living in the 80's and they're the only source for advertising?

City Beat is my favorite print media weekly newspaper in the city. It is the best source for cool…read moreevents, happenings, and resources. It's also a large resource for the growing arts community in Cincinnati. The paper has a liberal voice in such a heavy conservative community. The listings of events, performances, auditions, and other opportunities is extensive and never misses a beat. They occasionally have special editions devoted to green initiatives, dining editions, a women's issue, and issues about current events. Some of the columns are syndicated and also appear in the alternative news in other large cities. However, most of them are locally written. I have to admit that sometimes I just do the crossword even though it's a great paper.

I subscribed during a promo in April 2025 for $0.99 per month for one year, with tax it totals…read more$1.05. The promo included a $10 gift card. I never received the gift card. Subsequent calls to customer service did not solve the mystery why I didn't get my gift card. I gave up. Noticed on my credit card bill I was charged $1.05 the next month as I expected. Then I saw I was charged $10.59 the following month. I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge requesting it be corrected to $1.05 which is what I originally agreed to. My credit card company instantly resolved my dispute. In the meantime, for a different issue, I cancelled my credit card and requested a replacement for a separate phishing attempt by a bogus online retailer. Then I started getting calls from the Herald Leader I need to submit a new payment method. At that point I cancelled my subscription. Or so I thought. I subsequently received multiple phone calls and emails from them. I've marked the emails as spam. And if the calls continue I'll block them also.

Wow. So bad.

The rapid deterioration came with the firing of Joel Pett and the digital transition with print BY MAIL - 3 days a week. Those were the nails in the coffin. (Up until then, I had put up with dated content, horrible customer representative support, etc., etc.) At 99 cents a week introductory offer, I gave it a try; I now begrudge that I wasted 99 cents. The digital edition is frustrating to navigate, weirdly organized, and it's still dated material. (How is that even possible?) I hate to hate but I was given no choice.
