Lynnwood, WALocal News

The author, Herb Fox, shares his experience transitioning from reading physical newspapers to using the HeraldNet app at 76. Initially resistant and frustrated, he likens the adjustment to overcoming a lifelong smoking habit. However, he soon finds the app user-friendly and appreciates the convenience of receiving timely news updates without dealing with soggy newspapers. Acknowledging the impact of layoffs on delivery carriers, he values the modern convenience while emphasizing journalism's vital role in educating the public on community issues, such as the placement of a methadone clinic near a Boys and Girls Club. He believes in the importance of an informed citizenry in a democracy and expresses gratitude to the Daily Herald for its efforts in delivering important news, hoping it continues to thrive.

This letter highlights the evolving landscape of news consumption and the enduring value of journalism.
