GENTRY — Beginning with this issue, online-access to the full content of the Gentry Courier-Journal and the Decatur Herald requires a subscription.

A good portion of online readers are already subscribed to the print edition and have a log-in for the Web site to comment on stories. These users will have access if their mailing addresses and print delivery addresses are identical. They’ll already be noted as a subscriber in the newspaper circulation’s database.

Users who would just like to register for onlineonly access will have to pay $2.99 a month. Subscribers to any one weekly will be able to access any other weekly edition’s content. However, they will not be able to access daily newspaper content online without subscribing to a daily paper or the online daily edition.

The Life in Gentry Web log, a companion to the Gentry Courier-Journal, will continue to be available free, without a subscription.

Subscription rates for the print edition of the Gentry Courier-Journal or the Decatur Herald - including online access - is $25 per year in the Gentry and Decatur area and $31 if out of the area.
