What changed on July 17, 2018?
The Daily Courier expanded online coverage and upgraded the newspaper’s primary website, dCourier.com, to a digital subscription-based site. If you are a current home delivery subscriber you are entitled to receive free, unlimited digital access. Nonsubscribers have the option to purchase one of several subscription offers. Otherwise, without a subscription you are no longer be able to read unlimited Courier news stories for free online.
Why make this change?
As the largest, most read local newsgathering force in Yavapai County our team of reporters work every day to find the news you need. This takes a sustained financial investment and the work of committed professionals.
Like most community newspapers throughout the country, The Daily Courier is dedicated to continuing the mission of providing the very best local news, sports, events, education and civic updates and other hometown happenings. If you are a print edition subscriber, you already recognize that local independent journalism matters.
How does it impact me?
Print subscribers will continue to receive the Daily Courier print edition at home with all the news, features, commentary, magazines, puzzles, games, comics and advertising inserts you’ve come to expect. But now, with your free digital subscription, you can access more community, state and national news, videos, photo galleries, online maps and other extras that will post throughout the day.
What do I need to do?
Everyone will still be able to view the homepage of dCourier.com with its collection of updated headlines, but only subscribers that are logged in with a registered username will be able to view all of our stories, videos and features, including our 3D page-flip e-edition.
Current print subscribers can activate their free digital subscription and receive a username and password by going to: www.CourierFree.com.
For personal service or if you have additional questions, please call our customer care center at 928-772-1212.
I’m not a print subscriber. How do I subscribe to the website?
Nonsubscribers will see a subscription prompt and initial offer link on the site articles. You can also get started now by creating a digital account at this link.
Some content is still free
The Courier will still posts some free content items every day, such as local event calendar briefs, obituaries, classified ads, breaking news briefs and important community public health and safety stories. In addition, we made certain to keep our digital rates affordable at only pennies a day for a monthly or annual subscription.
We appreciate online subscribers who support local, independent journalism and help make it possible for our newsroom team to provide a wide variety of local news and information for the community each day of the year.
