Freeman’s Journal Now Available Earlier
Friends,
Beginning with the edition you hold in your hands, The Freeman’s Journal is shifting its publication day from Fridays to Thursdays.
That means it will be available on newstands Wednesday afternoons and should arrive in local subscribers’ mailboxes on Thursdays.
Our hope is this change will allow you to better plan your weekend activities via our “Happenin’ Otsego” calendar and related advertising.
This shifts our production schedule from Wednesday nights to Tuesday nights.  If you can, plan on getting news and advertising copy to us by Mondays or first thing Tuesday mornings.  However, as always, we continue to be flexible and will accommodate you to the degree possible.  If you’re unsure about an insertion, call 547-6103.
We will continue to update our Web site 24/7 when news happens.  Check www.thefreemansjournal.com and sign up to be alerted by e-mail when that happens.
Any inputs you may have on these changes are welcome.  Call me at the above number or e-mail jimk@thefreemansjournal.com
