Budget of Sugarcreek Goes Modern

Budget of Sugarcreek Goes Modern

Editorial

Some people get their news online from the New York Times or Cedar Key News. The Budget of Sugarcreek is a weekly newspaper for Amish folks that has been published for 120 years in ultra-rural Sugarcreek, Ohio. About 10,000 subscribers to The Budget relies on 843 volunteer "scribes" to submit news from Amish communities far and wide. The Budget, like Cedar Key News, is open to volunteer reports of "hyperlocal" news from local citizens.

Under the headline "Some big newspapers expected to start charging online fees" the Associated Press recently reported on the shifting sands of news delivery. Many newspapers are going out of business or changing their practices. Big newspapers need money to compete with hyperlocal newspapers like The Budget and Cedar Key News.

The Budget charges $42 annually for its print edition, whereas Cedar Key News is free for both online and print versions. Cedar Key News asks each year for readers to join our non-profit organization with a $15 membership from individuals and $25 membership from households. (Please note the appended membership application form.)

Newspapers will never go out of existence in the United States. And they will continue to help keep the government honest. But they will change how they deliver the news. Faster (online) is better. Local control is better. Be a part of the newspaper revolution by becoming a member of Cedar Key News, today.
