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 change lets us keep investing where our readers are and continue to provide them with the local, regional, state and national news they rely on." The cost of subscriptions will be adjusted to reflect digital rates. "We appreciate the deep loyalty of our longtime subscribers, and we

New emergency alert system for McDonough County

McDonough County is transitioning to a new emergency alert system designed to save money and provide a more user-friendly platform. “As everything is going up in price, we looked for something similar at a cheaper price,” said Edgar Rodriguez, Director of the McDonough County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency. “The old system was about $11,500 a year. With this one, we are reducing it to $9,000 a year for a five-year period.”
