    Hello Everyone

    I spent almost 2 hours going from store to store to find a Cleveland Post Newspaper. Have they stopped selling them in stores? I was shock that I couldn't find one over the weekend.

    Does the residents get one for free in their driveways? I was just wondering.

    we get one delivered to the house and I used to see them at CVS (4042) all the time.

    I get one in my mailbox every week. They stopped doing that for a while in my area, but have started again recently. They usually have it in Food Lion at 40/42.

    Thanks again for the info. I went to all of the places and none. They only mail them out to the area residents in the Cleveland area.

    You can pick one up in our neighborhood! We have several neighbors that leave them in their driveway or yard for weeks on end after they are delivered.

    Cleveland Post or Smithfield Herald? It's the Herald that gets thrown out in driveways to rot, the Post at least pays for postage instead of littering.

    My bad, it's the Garner-Clayton Record. It used to be called something else though. Was it the Cleveland Post? Or is that another paper?

    The Cleveland Post is another paper.

    It may be frowned upon, but newspapers do not count as litter because it is considered a means of doing business and not just careless disregard of waste. In other words, a newspaper such as the Herald cannot be charged with littering in the dispersal of their product.

    I know, just like all those phone books, but I still think of it as litter. :x

    I just got the Cleveland Post delivered to me yesterday in my mailbox. OP: did you get one delivered to you also?

    My publicity list includes the Cleveland Sentinel, the Cleveland Post, the Four Oaks News in Review, the Smithfield Herald, and the Clayton News-Star. I may have to add that Garner-Clayton Record. ;)
     
  17. Has anyone ever read anything of really great interest in the Cleveland Post?! The journalists in that paper may have been rejected by the N & O (which is REALLY sad). I think the members here on 4042.com would do a better job on the editorials. It should be called the Cleveland Bore. At least it keeps us up to date on what's not happening around here. The strawberry festival had more coverage than the presidential election. I'm saying all this lightly of course. I just think it's a funny little newspaper.

    One of our members used to be a columnist for the Cleveland Post, before it changed hands. We all enjoyed reading her column every week.

    Obviously, what is going to drive a community newspaper is first the advertising. However, one problem is that you have at least two big media companies wanting to claim a large slice of the pie: McClatchy (The Herald) and Heartland (Cleveland Post). I tend to think that they really lack dedication to the immediate community with no real interest in serving it. Its the bottom line for such companies and it only gets worse with tightening budgets, smaller staffs, and a decrease in true readers despite claims of a large amount of circulation. If it ain't interesting, it 'rots in the driveway.'

    The Cleveland area is neither "Cleveland", "40/42", "Old Drug Store", etc. It has elements of both Garner and Clayton, as well as southern Wake and western Johnston. Until the immediate community can shut out Garner, Clayton and even Smithfield, its just represents demographics to the corporate media bean counters who cater to those towns respectfully.
