The Gazette is a terrific award-winning local paper, first published in 1786. I like their app because I like the paper, and because I like the format. You see the pages of the newspaper, so it feels a lot more like ‘reading the paper’ than, say, the NYT app. You can read the headlines, and if you want to know more, you click on the article and it’s immediately enlarged for easy reading. The Gazette is struggling as are many local papers, from competition from internet based journalism and from COVID-19. I very much hope it manages to thrive into the rest of its third century!Chris Riddle, Amherst, MA

I Just didn’t realize how much I was missing over the years… I’m feeling a part of the community once again! Thank you to the entire staff at the DHG… I’m enjoying reading the Digital News on my Mobile Phone…it’s just incredibly fluid and very well presented in easy to read columns… Well done to all…the reasonably priced digital subscription was well within our price range… and… “worth every penny”… With Best Regards, JAM Jr… Happily Retired “Hamp” Resident!

It’s great to be able to see the paper both in layout and article by article. And to be able to search by article. Searchability would be good too, especially for back issues. still receive the paper daily in physical form, especially for advertisements.

I don’t agree with your political views as I believe that Donald Trump is best for the future of this country and will keep us free. With Biden and his condition and his history of relations with China and his Vice Presidential choice he will end freedom as we know it. I also believe in a free press that doesn’t suppress the truth and if Biden gets elected our mainstream media will get even worse than it is today. Thanks
