“With the elimination of address delivery of newspapers, quality subscription eliminated as well,” says Vorskla newspaper editor Oleksii Pasiuha

The primary issue that worries us today is subscription. The increased tariffs of Ukrposhta may be justified. But is there a guarantee that people will not receive the newspaper three to five days or even a week late, as in previous years?

Or I have an example of the border village of Lukashivka, and the mail carriers there subscribed to only two newspapers last year. People complained that not everyone was able to subscribe to Vorskla, and when I wrote about it in the newspaper, the mail carriers, instead of correcting the situation, came to the newsroom for a quarrel.

They had to tell them that the social worker, who, unfortunately, did not have the right to issue a subscription, nevertheless issued an editorial subscription for 20 more copies after them. This proves that with the elimination of address delivery, quality subscription was also eliminated, so newspapers should be delivered to the yard.

Now, the schedule of mobile departments is entirely defined. But when the employee of the mobile branch tells an old woman, who came three kilometers from the far end of the village to subscribe to the newspaper, that today she forgot the subscription receipts and did not have the catalog, it is difficult to understand. And will she come again?
