Does this program seem too good to be true?
The fact is that newspapers make most of their revenue in ADVERTISING. In order for a newspaper to sell ads to advertisers, newspapers need to maintain current subscribers and sell new subscriptions to increase their circulation.

ARBITRATION: While most subscriber issues are corrected quickly with a simple call to subscriber services, there are occasions where disputes are not immediately resolved. To remedy this, we have joined cable companies, cellular providers and others in instituting an arbitration program. This simply means that if a consumer files a claim, arbitration allows a prompt resolution to the dispute without requiring either party to invest the time and expense of a lawsuit in court. As a subscriber, participation in the arbitration program is automatic. Details of this program can be found at http://local.digitalfirstmedia.com/common/dfm/arbitration.pdf. If you have questions regarding these policies, please call subscriber service.
Offer terms may not be altered, except by newspaper management.
