Two days before Christmas, the Bertie Ledger-Advance in Windsor, North Carolina, went live with its first website, complete with all the latest news, sports, obituaries and local columnists. News and sports for the past six months, dating back to July 1, now are available to readers.
“We are beyond excited to offer our subscribers a website that will work hand-in-hand with our print edition of the Bertie Ledger-Advance,” BLA Publisher Kyle Stephens said. “I think our readers will enjoy the convenience of getting news faster via the website, but still having the same service from their hometown newspaper.”
BLA Editor Thadd White said: “It has taken some time, but we did it right. When Adams Publishing Group purchased this newspaper, Mark Adams himself gave a commitment to our staff that we would have a website and he kept his word not only to our staff, but to our readers.”
The website is available from now until Jan. 21 when the free preview will end and it will be available to subscribers only. During that free preview time, subscribers will be able to set up their accounts and those wishing to subscribe will have the opportunity.
