Press "Enter" to skip to content

Technical Difficulties Make Aberdeen Newspaper Free Online Today!

Stop the presses! The press is stopped!

Something mucked up the works at the Aberdeen American News this morning. AAN's press experienced a "mechanical problem" with several thousand papers yet to print. The Monday print edition thus won't hit the streets on time.

But journalism soldiers on: The Aberdeen American News has lifted the paywall and made its online news freely accessible to everyone today.

My two favorite words: free and news. Whoo-hoo! Pass around your phones and iPads at the Red Rooster!
