Gallo is another hack.
She is a contemporary journalists....which basically means that she's just a paid activist with a twitter account and a computer.
You can find hundreds of the same opinions all over social media without a subscription to The Advocate.

They do “samples” trying to get people to subscribe
Try the digital version of The Business Report if you want more local news. It's cheap, and it's business themed.
Less of the political bullshite that is pervasive in everything The Advocate writes.

Those spoiled Manship kids ruined a once great company.

He probably doesn’t have a subscription...they throw their shite in your yard as a “courtesy” from time to time.
I feel like I throw at least 2 away per week.
They have no idea nor do they care what their customers/potential customer want. They continue to shove their opinion and ad heavy BS at everyone.
They will go the way of the dinosaur

Seems like that’s a poor plan for their business then, if it’s multiple times a week.
I get them once a month or so
The weird thing is it’s a single paper front & back but there are 2 or 3 of the same page

There was once 3 daily editions. Morning Advocate, State Times early edition and State Times late edition. The journalists were mostly well respected and good at their jobs. They also employed a lot of folks.
The internal staff started getting really shitty around the mid to late 90's and by then most of the good employees had retired or found work elsewhere.
The internet has kicked your arse, and you're dying a slow deserved death.

My mother and in-laws (all in their 80s) are the only people I know who still read the print newspaper. And my mother's pet peeve is that they keep decreasing the page and font size so now she has to read it with a magnifying glass.

Gee a legacy news delivery organization populated by more idealogues than reporters and it is hurting?
Hate to see it.

Both of my parents put in over 30 years each there. Mom was forced into early retirement and my father was the editor of the Fun Section until he died of brain cancer, probably brought on by the liberal shite stains that took over.

A bunch of mass comm. losers about to hit the unemployment line.

Like many other “news” formats today, the spread of propaganda is the #1 priority, even over keeping the business alive.
The parasite killing the host.

Apparently the Whole fricking Manship Family had a hand in this one.

My experience with the digital version was not good either. I found it very clunky and always asking me to log in again. I canceled that subscription too
I found it impossible to log in from my phone. I only had a weekend subscription for football season in 2019. I cancelled it after the season. When I called to cancel, the girl on the phone asked why. When I hesitated, she asked "is it the politics?" So, they know why they are losing subscribers. It seems they just don't care.

We found some newspapers from the 1930s when we renovated our new-eo-us farmhouse in Tennessee- under linoleum to keep the cold air out. One front page back then had more news items than most newspapers have today in all ten of their pages.
There will, however, be a problem legally. The laws as written in a lot of states require that certain notices be published in the local paper of record. It used to be that papers would compete to be that paper because they got paid by the inch to publish those announcement. Even today (in Tennessee, at least) to take a will to probate you have to have an obituary published in the local paper of record as part of the probate package.
Has any local or state gubment (sic) even begun to think what will happen when there is no paper of record, much less the more stringently (New Orleans) required daily paper of record?
