Herald Website Experiences a Delay in Updating

If you check the Herald’s website regularly, you might have noticed a problem recently. For technical reasons that are still not clear, we were not able to upload the content of the March 21, 2024, edition of the Herald to the website. Please accept our apologies.

We’re still not sure what happened but we have managed to (at least temporarily) regain access to the site. We will be uploading the contents of the March 21 edition and this week’s edition as soon as we can – probably by Thursday of this week (March 28).

Not being able to upload content to our website is the 21st Century’s version of not getting your newspaper delivered. As long as printed newspapers are delivered, there will occasionally be customers who don’t get their paper. It still happens. We know!

We here at the Herald do not have delivery people. We use the United States Postal Service to deliver copies of the Herald to our valued subscribers. The post office usually does a good job but, as with everything else, they occasionally drop the ball. Or, the paper, as it were.

So if you get your Herald delivered by mail, please understand this: Once we turn a freshly printed copy of the Herald over to the post office, getting it into your mailbox is the post office’s job. We don’t mind getting the phone call when your Herald does not arrive as expected. (In fact, we want to know.) But please understand that we have no control over the actual physical delivery of the newspaper.

When you don’t get your newspaper, yes, please call us and let us know. We need to know so we can figure out a way to either get you a copy or give you a credit. But also please contact your local post office and let them know. If they don’t hear from you, the customer, then they have no reason to improve their efforts. A call from you, a postal customer, carries more weight than our call does.

As always, thank you for reading. (And subscribing!)
