The Telegraph

This note is a request for you to take some easy and badly needed action that could and should make a difference in your own future.
Currently our lovely local paper, The Telegraph, is thrilled to take a good chunk of cash for publishing an obituary. Yes, these little articles cost money, you are charged by the inch, and this short summary of your own life, the life of your mom or dad, of your siblings or spouses is quickly lost to non-​Telegraph subscribers because of the bad decisions the head of our local paper is making.
Sadly, our local obituaries are only printed for one, single day. However, the online aspect of it, which in my opinion should last for many, many years (and which does for most other papers), is gone by the next day, as well. If your cousin in Tennessee wants to read your obituary a week after it is printed, she will be asked to subscribe to the paper to get the full contents. Really!!!
Not only is this a travesty to your own legacy when your time comes, but to the charities you have requested to be considered in memory of your loved ones.
Call the new Publisher — Jim Konig at (603) 882‑2741 to let him know what bad business he is conducting by short-​changing us and our charaties with this type of corporate greed (don’t bother with anyone else — he’s the key decision maker).
Thanks for considering making a quick phone call that can make a world of change!

Have gotten several sales calls from The Telegraph, and keep asking to be removed from the call list. The last lady that called tried to convince me to get the paper after I told her flat out no thank you («Just give it a try!» she plead). She transferred me to a supervisor when I asked to be removed from the call list again, and when I told the supervisor I thought it rude to try and push a sale when I said no, she said «I know» before cutting me off and hanging up.
If/​when I change my mind about subscribing to a local newspaper, I will not be choosing The Telegraph.
