AI Highlights
  • I have not received a paper for over two weeks despite calls.
  • Poor communication with the third-party service; 40-year subscriber may cancel.

Cons:
  • Fired good reporters
  • Late news since printed out of town
  • Ongoing delivery problem

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Only get online paper or subscribe to other papers
