Register for full access to albanyherald.com

ALBANY — Starting today, The Albany Herald’s website, www.albanyherald.com, is a subscription-based news site.

Full access to The Herald’s website is free with a paid subscription to the print newspaper. Once registered, a subscriber can get up to two log-ons for the website, which includes the recently launched new e-edition of The Herald. A user can “flip through” pages like the printed product and click on specific articles and images.

The online access also will enable Herald readers to get their news quicker. Articles will be available as soon as they’re written and posted to the website.

Those who register also have the option to sign up for daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.

In addition to the news stories, opinion columns, features and expanded photos already available online, other features that have been available only in the print newspaper — such as horoscopes, end-of-the-day stock quotes, The Squawkbox, the history column and others — will be available in the e-edition as well. Advertisements, except for circulars, also will be accessible in the e-edition.

A Herald newspaper subscriber who wants to access albanyherald.com can go online to www.albanyherald.com/subscribe to register. The print subscription account number (shown in the Account Summary) on the newspaper bill is needed to complete the registration for the website.

A print subscriber who does not have his or her account number can obtain the needed information by contacting the circulation call center at (229) 888-9322 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays or emailing [email protected].

The cost for those who do not subscribe to the print newspaper to subscribe to albanyherald.com is $9.99 a month, with annual online subscriptions available for $99. A one-month trial subscription can be purchased for 99 cents, which will automatically convert to a monthly $9.99 online subscription unless the online-only subscribers opts out before the end of the month by emailing [email protected]. That is also the email address for any questions regarding website subscriptions and access.

The 99-cent trial is also an option for those who live outside the Southwest Georgia area and want to access a specific article. The access will last for 30 days, and the individual will need to give email cancellation notice before the 30th day.
