Readers of the Bulletin,
On August 1, 2024, we are changing how the Amherst Bulletin is distributed. Beginning with the August 1 issue, the Bulletin will be available weekly for free pickup at nearly 60 locations in Amherst, Belchertown, Hadley, Hatfield, South Deerfield and Sunderland. Due to this increased availability in the region, we will no longer deliver the Bulletin by mail. A full list of pickup locations will be available on amherstbulletin.com beginning August 1.
Over the years, the Bulletin has continually changed its distribution model, moving from newspaper racks throughout the market, to the post office, to Gazette subscribers receiving it via home delivery, and most recently to a mix of mail and pickup locations in Amherst and Hadley. With postal costs rising, we believe it makes more sense to invest our resources in news gathering than in distributing a free product.
Over 95% of the weekly bulletin’s content was previously published in the Daily Hampshire Gazette, so consider our special discount offer and subscribe to the Gazette cash on delivery or digitally and enjoy the convenience of having the news from across Hampshire County delivered straight to your door every day.
If you have questions or would like to subscribe to the Daily Hampshire Gazette, please contact customer service at (413) 586-1925 or [email protected].
And thanks for reading.
