PDN Price Going Up?
I haven't found this online anywhere, but I've heard the PDN will be costing 75 cents per issue, starting in April.

maybe it should become a weekly paper instead of daily. seems not to be as informative under the new owner.
Per issue? Hell, I stopped my subscription 6 or 7 years ago because it wasn't worth the cost then. I can always find one to read for free.
It seems to me that there is little on the website now unless you are willing to pay for an online subscription to see the whole cookie, not going to happen, I'll just go over to Rick's and read his.
Or turn on the radio for local news.
It's like near beer and half as much.
Most people I know stopped buying the PDN a few years ago. The coverage of local issues is terrible. I might as well just sign up for the City press releases to get the "offical party line", for free.
For as much as it matters to me, and most I know, the PDN might as well raise their prices to $10 an issue!
Unemployment still going up in Clallam County. Good time to raise prices!
They should change the name to "Loser County".
It's worth every penny - so long as I get my other seventy-four cents back.
My rotten fish offal doesnt even like being wrapped up in that sorry excuse for a newspaper.
It stinks worse that the fish wastes.
I like to check the site for breaking local news - drunks or thugs on the loose, fires, missing persons, important local political and business developments, etc. It does has a nice hokey look to it. But KONP's website almost always puts up a stroy first.
Newspapers are easy targets but ours does have some great articles and writing every once in a while - because this is a great place and papers always relfect a community. Hope it survives as a printed daily.

A great place? With what as a comparison? Chernoble?
I had visitors from Europe recently. They came with enthusiasm to see Port Angeles and the area. Within hours, they were shaking their heads as we drove by single-wide trailers with junk piled about, and the smokestack industries on the waterfront.
They left wondering why anyone would choose to live here.
Europe is nice, very "parked out" and seems functional, but it's not sustainable - even if their debts were wiped clean they will be back in the same spot in a few years. They are realizing there is no way out - the dominos will fall soon. Were they here looking for a near pristine place with a mild climate, few people, and lots of natural resources to park their euros? Or maybe the "diversity" of Europe is bothering them? Next time you have company, let them know what to expect, be the happy "tour guide", let them know that we are a community of hard workers and outdoorsy types, not a bunch of pasty faced, whiney, freeloaders, and try driving them around in places other than your own neighborhood.
"They left wondering why anyone would choose to live here." Why do YOU choose to live here?
My only complaint about the "smokestack industries on the waterfront" is that there aren't enough of them. Decades ago the sky over Port Angeles may have been gray from smoke, but the local businesses were rolling in green. The schools were great and crime was practically non-existent.
I hope your European friends had a safe trip home to their socialist country. Maybe you can join them in Chernobyl. And, yeah, that's the correct spelling.
"Or maybe the "diversity" of Europe is bothering them?"
LOL! Oh, So funny!
No, my friends were MORE than happy to return home. After seeing Port Angeles, they appreciate so much more where they live.
But, it doesn't take being someone who lives outside of the US to see what a backwards and regressive community Port Angeles is. Friends from Seattle leave here glad to return home.
And, even friends from Florida! You know it is a banana republic when even people from FLORIDA leave, happy they don't live here!
"My only complaint about the "smokestack industries on the waterfront" is that there aren't enough of them. Decades ago the sky over Port Angeles may have been gray from smoke, but the local businesses were rolling in green."
WOW. So you really are willing to sacrifice your health - and the health of an entire community - to the All Mighty Dollar. WOW. No concerns, no problems, just so long as industry is doing well.
There's a real long-term perspective. Enjoy your cancer, and tell your kids to make the most of their asthma.
Again, wny do YOU choose to live here? Are you wearing a monitoring bracelet? Are you being held hostage in one of those single-wide trailers to which you refer?
You seem to have many friends from faraway places. Since you've played congenial host to them, maybe they'd reciprocate. (And why do you continue to invite your friends to such a dismal place?)
Anyway, there's an inner tube in the harbor with your name on it. ALL ABOARD!
"Europe is nice, very "parked out" and seems functional, but it's not sustainable".
Yeah, give it another thousand years or so to prove whether it is "sustainable" or not.
As if Port Angeles is "sustainable"? If it were not for all the outside taxpayer money being funneled into this town, it would have collapsed years ago. Talk about "socialist"!
Interesting to see the de-barker is working on logs being stacked, presumably to send to China, on the PenPly/Port property today. I guess Grant Munro is still using the property and Port facilities, even though his other company still owes Port Angeles taxpayers so much money.
"Talk about "socialist"!"
Yup, I'm a socialist in a socialistic world. A social animal. It takes a village. Go figure.
One smoke stack, no smoke stack, ten smoke stacks...we are special.
And if we don't destroy the planet, in a thousand years, 20th Century European History will be DOMINATED by the fact that the US dragged their butts from entering the gates of hell.
And perhaps, the 21st Century will be known for the fact that Asian and Indian style capitalism, fueled only by their exploding populations and exploding middle class, rescued the world from European style socialism.
Anyone else notice- the PDN web page has been down all day today.
No. I don't pay that much attention to what the PDN does. I saw it was a waste of time, years ago, and cancelled my subscription.
The full-page "subscribe now!" ad in today's PDN smells like a precursor to this price increase...
What i think is amazing is how much they expect local business to be able to pay for advertising. More than the SF Chronicle! We are expected to shell out $100 - $300 for a small business card size ad that runs for only 1 day!
Comrades, your attention, please!
The Ministry of Propaganda for the People's Republic of Klallam County has authorized the following:
During the Last Party meeting of the P.R.o.K.C., the Dear Leader uttered these words of Wisdom: "A diversity of opinion, especially when it is divergent to the Party and the dictates of the P.R.o.K.C., is nothing short of bourgeoise reactionism in the face of the implacable Truth which we Leaders of the Party have set down. Diversity of opinion is not to be tolerated and must be stamped out root and branch immediately. Therein lies Freedom."
We of the ministry of Propaganda for the P.R.o.K.C. accuse the PDN of being active is spreading Counter Revolutionary Opinion and of deluding the Citizens of the P.R.o.K.C. with baseless Lies fostered by Capitalists, Industrialists and Bankers.
Therefore we of the ministry of Propaganda of the P.R.o.K.C. urge all right minded citizens to cease reading the PDN and instead get their news and information from the People's Commissars: Comrades Schanfeld, Turner, Chadd and Bruch, who have been appointed by the Party.
We also urge all citizens to read the Dear Leader's instructional booklet "My Life As the Fifth Ramone".

Don't you mean "all left-minded citizens"?
Actually, Paul, if you count all the drummers and bass players, there were way more than five Ramones.
How's that whole Portland thing working out?

Troll Haven no longer exists, thus the trolls roam freely...
Sigh...
I guess this is a result in cutbacks in the public mental health budgets. We have to hear from this poor idiot who has a hard on for Max Mania, who he calls "Dear Leader".
Oh well.
