The 138-year-old Plainsman Herald, in rural Colorado, was about to close when the owner asked readers if they’d pay more to keep it afloat.
About 95% of respondents said yes.
So he’s raising the annual subscription rate to $100 from $50.

A 138-year-old Colorado newspaper asked readers if it was worth saving. They resoundingly said yes.
Weeks before closing, The Plainsman Herald owner Kent Brooks asked readers if the Colorado weekly was worth saving. Their response changed his mind.
