That’s where you’ll find THE CITIZEN’S e-edition. That e-edition is free this week. Next week, it will be by paid subscription only. 

IN THE WORKS

We are getting ready so we can mail the printed edition to subscribers. We need a special permit through the U.S. Postal Service to do this in a cost effective manner. To get that permit, we need a list of subscribers. When you subscribe to our e-edition, your name goes on that list. Then, when the permit is approved, we’re going to give you a choice. You can keep your e-edition or you can switch to the print edition for the term left, which will only be $25 for the first year. We’ll announce annual subscription prices as soon as we get things worked out with the postal service, but the e-edition only will remain at $25 a year for awhile. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.

Thank You for supporting THE CITIZEN, your local newspaper. And please thank our advertisers. The support we get from you and our advertisers make this newspaper possible and keep LOCAL alive in Fannin County and the Copper Basin.
