The Webster exercise program for Monitor subscribers: Are you enrolled in it?
If you are a subscriber to the Monitor, you are. What is it? It’s the get up in the morning, walk out to the Monitor tube and find . . . nothing. Walk back inside, get breakfast in anticipation of reading the paper while sipping tea, walk back out to the tube . . . nothing. Check every half-hour until 9:30 when you call the circulation operators at the Monitor, who ask if you want credit or today’s paper delivered tomorrow. What I and my fellow subscribers want is the paper on time every day.
Yes, it can snow out and we are accepting that on snowy days it will be late, but on clear days the paper should be in the tube.
Also, Webster residents want to know why they don’t receive the Concord Insider. It is provided free to Concord and Bow residents because, I’ve been told, those subscribers shop in Concord. Geography update: Webster borders Concord, and it is where many of us shop. Why are we paying for a weekly paper that we don’t receive? I’ve asked for over two years and been told it is in discussion.
The Monitor is our hometown paper. I like it enough that I have subscribed for decades, but with print newspapers disappearing at a frightening rate, one would think that the editors would want subscribers to get the paper on time and to receive what they are paying for, the Monitor and the Insider.
