McDonough Voice to end print edition as reader habits change, costs rise

The McDonough County Voice will cease its print edition and move to an entirely digital model beginning in January, in response to shifting reader habits and rising print costs. Like many newspapers across the country, the McDonough County Voice has faced increased printing and delivery costs while a growing number of readers turn to digital platforms for news. The move is aimed at ensuring the newspaper’s long-term sustainability. The final print edition will be published Jan. 10. Subscribers will receive 24/7 access to mcdonoughvoice.com and the McDonough County Voice eNewspaper, a digital replica of the newspaper on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. "This decision reflects how our audiences engage with us today," said Corina Curry, editor of the McDonough County Voice . "More and more of our readers use our digital products for local news and events, watch videos, flip through a photo gallery and enjoy features like comics and puzzles.

The cost of subscriptions will be adjusted to reflect digital rates. "We appreciate the deep loyalty of our longtime subscribers, and we

Volunteers have successfully put up a new 50-foot emergency radio tower at the Nauvoo Fire Station

Volunteers have successfully put up a new 50-foot emergency radio tower at the Nauvoo Fire Station, giving Nauvoo a powerful backup lifeline for when the next big storm or disaster hits. The Daily Gate City reports the new structure replaces an old antenna that had been at the station for years. The new tower will give the town a reliable way to call the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office 911 dispatchers, and connects the local Nauvoo Emergency Communications Network. Once everything is established, the Nauvoo Fire Protection District office will become the main headquarters for all local emergency communications. The equipment inside the fire station runs on both solar power and a backup generator, so even if the electrical grid crashes and local cellphone towers go completely dead, the town’s emergency system will stay up and running.

With this one, we are reducing it to $9,000 a year for a five-year period.”
