Times Herald-Record transitioning to postal delivery

Starting Monday, March 18, the U.S. Postal Service will be delivering the Times Herald-Record to optimize resources amidst increasing digital readership demand.  

The round-the-clock online news cycle has made digital products the first choice for breaking-news readers, and print subscribers are increasingly engaging digitally. As such, the Times Herald-Record will be putting renewed emphasis on the printed newspaper as a place readers can dive into local news with more impact and context, feel-good community features, sports analysis and commentary — the stories you can’t get anywhere else. 

“We are committed to continuing the Times Herald-Record’s long tradition of informing the community and providing quality local journalism in our print edition,” said Katie Borrelli, local editor. “Moving to mail delivery will allow us to provide a more consistent experience for our valued subscribers.”

Like many other newspaper publishers, Gannett Co. Inc., which operates more than 200 daily local newspapers including the Times Herald-Record, has already successfully introduced the approach in dozens of markets across the country, and is expanding the initiative.   

“For many years now, the printed newspaper has served as a culmination of the stories that will become our collective history, while our websites and mobile apps deliver the news of the day,” said Michael A. Anastasi, VP of Local News for Gannett. “We know that by the time our informed readers pick up the paper, they know what happened yesterday – the print newspaper should provide additional context, to help readers better understand their community and the world around them.” 

Readers can also visit recordonline.com, as well as access the eNewspaper, a digital replica of the newspaper at recordonline.com/enewspaper.

Subscribers will receive letters in the mail before the delivery change is implemented. The notifications will also include instructions on accessing digital products.
