Due to production issues at our printing facility, distribution of the print edition of The Herald Gazette was delayed several hours. Subscribers will get their newspapers in the mail a day late but may drop by the news office at 509 Greenwood Street to pick up a copy. There is a drive through window on the south side of the building that may be utilized so customers don't have to get out of their cars.

Subscriptions will be extended to compensate loyal readers.

We sincerely regret the delay.

"This would be a great time for current subscribers who have not utilized the free eEdition to do so. If you are currently a subscriber and need help creating your account for the eEdition feel free to call the office at 770.358.NEWS(6397)," said circulation director Tasha Webster.
