I've been a home subscriber on and off since 1998, and even sent the weekly paper to my college…read morefreshman last year- had a subscription delivered to their university in Washington. I let our subscriptions lapse this year though. We just weren't getting what we wanted from a local paper. Too many articles about TIF tiffs and political squabbling- and some surprisingly hateful cartoons- turned us off. I love online community comment boards, but WJ's online comments were just ridiculous to read. Someone would make a valid comment and then 5 "regulars" pounce on them. I stopped commenting, and then stopped reading the comments all together, as that forum is just a headache. Overall, I think the Wednesday Journal does a nice job with sports, obituaries, and features. I'd love to see more features and stories about local folks doing interesting things, but that's a pretty limited aspect to this weekly paper.

When you want more information on something local, the Wednesday journal does not even mention it.

This was the magazine of choice for me for many years. I loved picking it up from the local music story every month. The problem lately has been to many ads and crap articles. I want more reviews of concerts, albums and tours as well as interviews and photos! I feel like it's more just sales ads and band listings anymore. Still cool to see them in print. Not many doing that anymore. I'm still a fan.
