BEND BULLETIN, Bend Oregon. ARGGGGGHHHHH.
We like to read our morning newspaper. We look forward to it with our coffee and breakfast. We get local news, ignore their slanted-right editorial news, and get a round up of state news. We mark articles to read with our trusty felt tips, clip out articles and send them to family and friends. We read the comics. And we realize we are unique, in that we still like old fashion newsprint, in our hands, but we do. We have subscribed to our local Bend Bulletin, in Bend,Oregon for 20 years now.
Newspapers these days, are struggling to keep subscribers & add new ones. Our local paper the Bend Bulletin is one of them. They have raised rates, cut the size, relegated Monday's paper to cover JUST sports and the front section, and we still hung with them.
But starting this past winter we have wondered if they no longer want subscribers?
Are they actively trying to drive readers away?
We live in a rural area, our newspaper box is 1/2 mile from our house, we drive to retrieve our paper. This winter the snow was fierce and deep and papers were not delivered, regularly. We understood.
The weather cleared and our delivery service continued to get worse. The hubby called, politely and asked when things would improve. Soon he was told, we just need to hire a carrier for your route. Okay. We were patient.
But our delivery has continued to be spotty, all Spring & Summer. Hubby called-repeatedly, talked to several people in the Circulation Department, all assured him the problem would be fixed. After weeks of problems he went down to the paper and talked personally to them. After each cordial conversation he was assured the problem would be fixed.
This week our paper deliveries were: NO papers delivered; Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Wednesday was especially aggravating as we did NOT get Wed paper, but we did get the past Sunday paper-3 days late.
If the Bend Bulletin newspaper, in Bend Oregon wants to continue to be in business it might want to fix how papers are delivered to subscribers.
Do you think you can finally fix this problem? We're the Alfalfa area.
