For folks who got online only subs, we will make the content of the print editions available online for you and folks who want online only will still have the ability to subscribe this way. This is beneficial to foreign readers as sending print internationally is really expensive as well as people in the US and Canada who would rather read online.
We’ll still be doing online content as well, I’m not exactly sure what form it will take yet. In the poll we posted a few months back people said they preferred print overwhelmingly but also said they spend several hours a day online and get most of their news and information online. So I need to figure out what kind of info suits online better and what is better as print. Perhaps another poll is in order?
So, online subscribers, you’ll still get all the content we publish online and international and folks who prefer online, you’ll still be able to subscribe and get the content this way in the future.

Personally, I love a print addition because I don’t have a laptop; I like to take the mag to the coffeeshop, chill, and read. Moreover, I hate reading long articles online too, that’s why I breeze threw short online news reports and read longer articles in the portable means of a newspaper.
I suggest using the online addition for music and other media (like a podcast!!!), additional photos, links, and short articles with large fonts - that would be the dopest, Hoot!

Sounds fantastic! I just got an online subscription and was a bit worried for a second that I wouldn’t be able to read any new editions. But this sounds like a big improvement! Can’t wait to read the future editions.
