The reasons I subscribe to the Gisborne Herald are the access to local news and information that I cannot find anywhere else and the opportunity to, on occasion, express an opinion in the letters page. The reasons for the sale to NZME have been made abundantly clear. Some of the feedback suggests that a number of people are reluctant to adjust to change. That is evident for some of the letter writing fraternity about more than just the NZ Herald.
From my perspective, the adjustment to a morning read has been an easy process. The add-on benefits were unexpected but welcome, especially access to the NZ Herald.
