It's very very frustrating to keep leaving messages over and over and never receiving a response. My aunt is 95 and was receiving her papers down the hill from her residence . Recently they have stopped using carriers so they were sending papers to her Post office box.. she has a small box at the PO and can only pick her papers up once a week so her.Mail and newspaper were being stuffed into her box so tightly she couldn't pull it out. The AJ distribution Dept said she could receive her papers at her street address. So they changed her delivery address to her street address. She hasn't received any of her papers for a couple months. So I called the post office . They said they will not deliver to her home address.. the papers were all returned to the Auburn Journal office... but I haven't heard from AJ so I don't know what to do..

Frankly its hard to run a print media business these days, and Auburn Journal (edited by Derek Rothe) does a pretty darn OK job of it!!! Recently, they greatly improved their local coverage, even interviewing a local DJ MC person, a local Yelper, who strongly believes in NOT biting the hand that feeds him, LOL. For another view of Auburn, but a lot cheaper (ie. FREE)......check out the Auburn Sentinel, a weekly newspaper published locally by the owners of Sierra Heritage Magazine.

They cover the live music scene, art culture and events, and other random goings-on within Sac. There's also at least one featured review of a local dining establishment and a decent dining directory (although small). This is a must for any gridster. And it's free. Coolishness.

In any undertaking, there are two things that need to be considered: the goodness of the plan and…read morethe facility of the execution. This is a 5 star idea and a 3 star execution. I love the idea of knowing what is going on inside the grid. People consistently complain that there is "nothing to do" in Sacramento--indeed, a recent discussion thread bears witness to this complaint in the most immediate way. So, let's give credit where credit is due. MM does a rather good job disseminating this information. It has its collective ear to the ground and, unlike SNR or other local periodicals, does considerably more than repeat what you've already heard elsewhere. I inevitably learn something--and something interesting--about Sac every time I read MM, and you can't say that about very many freebies. On to the facility of the execution... MM is in its infancy, so some bumps in the road are expected. The initial issues were loaded with copy editing snafus, and one found grammatical errors of all stripes (misplaced apostrophes, misused pronouns, misspelled words). Recent issues are, however, much improved in this regard. I still find that the writing still lacks the verve and edginess that the substance of the magazine begs for, but the gap here is closing, too. Form has not quite caught up with content, at least not yet, but every issue is better than the last. I'm very pleased to see all these improvements--careless writing is evidence of careless thinking, and MM has done a nice job tightening up both. I continue to be mildly disappointed with the reviews and editorial content, but find these recently improved as well. MM does a very good job telling us going on, but could, I think, do a better job telling us why we should care. There seems to be an unwillingness to take the sledgehammer to anyone, and there are places that richly deserve a harsh treatment. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but it is hard to know exactly why that is. Is it because the reviewers only review good things, because they are afraid to criticize neighboring businesses, or because they are unable to distinguish good from bad? In short, I don't know. I hope, however, that MM joins to its decidedly self-congratulatory air the discernment and critical sniffishness that would justify it. I am a long way from thinking that a good critic hates everything, but he has to hate something, and to explain himself in an ingratiating way. All I want to see is more critical animus, expressed a bit more felicitously.
