Today my wife bought a Sunday Gazette, as she usually does. There was no TV guide, another brilliant policy decision by your staff.

I assume it was a calculated decision related to the bottom line. I further presume it is to somehow preserve the value of your print and paid on-line publications.

You still haven't relented on your choice to force people to pay to view paid obituary notices. I've been recommending the Times-Union to people ever since and I believe the "Times" still has a TV guide in their paper, which by the way sells for less.

I now have one more reason to buy the Times and one less to buy the Gazette.

Thanks again.

"The Daily Gazette has chosen not to publish obituaries on its Web site to preserve the value of its print and paid online editions."

Since people must pay to have these notices placed in your newspaper, it seems very wrong that people are asked to pay again to view them. Many relatives and friends live out of town. They should be able to look at obits, just as they may view any other paid ads. This policy is more than a little insensitive.

You're not making any friends here. Not all local obits can be found in the Times-Union but those that are can be found and copied without charge.
