PDF Full Version Subscriptions

The Crittenden Press Online will start charging for PDF versions of The Crittenden Press on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2008. The entire newspaper will be available in PDF format for a fee of $2.50 per month or $20 per year. 

The Press Online will continue offering a portion of the local news for free. Those free html files will include the top three or four stories of the week, obituaries, community calendar, classified ads from The Press and Early Bird, plus web exclusives such as breaking news, podcasts and video.

For a PDF subscription, go to the subscribe link at The Press Online and follow the prompts. Subscriptions to the PDF version will be available only online. Subscribers will need a Paypal account which they will be prompted to create when they subscribe. Once a Paypal account is created, the customer may pay with a variety of methods, including credit card or bank draft.

Subscribers will be given a unique user name and password so that they can view or download weekly PDF updates of The Crittenden Press in its entirety.

Many of the things available online are never printed in the regular issue of The Press. News and sports video at The Press Online's You Tube channel is one of the most popular features. Thousands of viewers have watched sports clips, features about a local wood working shop, Dam 50 renovations and storm coverage.
