Naples Daily News

The new app for the electronic version of the Naples Daily News is much easier to use than the old one. I would prefer to see more local coverage and a little less national coverage only because I get the national coverage in other newspaper apps and by the time I read it in the Naples Daily News it’s a day or two old.

I used to enjoy reading the Daily News as a way to keep up with local events and happenings. However, lately the articles are becoming more partisan, misleading and divisive. I don’t mind reading about alternative views, but the liberal bias has crossed the line with recent reporting on the Parental Rights bill recently passed in our legislature. Elections have results and what was proposed and passed reflect most parents views to prohibit discussion on sexual orientation and choice, all sexual orientation and choice, to our young and impressionable youth until they are of a more appropriate age. Let the parents handle these discussions and learning experiences and teachers stick to basic educational topics…reading, writing, math, geography, english. Why is that such a hard message to understand and respect. Please stop with your misleading descriptions in an effort to influence and please get back to educational basics. Parents trump teachers.

I got a discount to subscribe for my first year, but I haven’t resubscribed as the current rates are way too expensive for a biased small town paper. I did not appreciate the biased slant in the articles the past year on political or national events. I am only interested in local happenings, as I get my main news elsewhere. I’m frustrated that this app has almost all the articles behind a paywall. There are plenty of papers that rely on ad revenue from non-subscribers. And just so you know, if I see your headline pop up on my phone, I can find that news through the local TV network websites instead. It’s not like you guys are the only journalists in town. Your app is certainly convenient, but not worth the price to subscribe.
