A new way to manage your subscription

The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News have a new subscription system, and with it, something our subscribers haven’t had before: the ability to manage their own accounts online.

Once you’ve set up your account, you can renew, update your payment card, change your mailing address or check your expiration date at any hour. Until now, any change meant calling or writing to our office. Many of you will appreciate the convenience, and if you’d still rather talk to a person or renew by mail, we’re always glad to help.

Your account is also how you read the Digital Replica Edition, the full paper page by page as it appears in print, on any device.

If you subscribe to the paper, you’ll need to create a new account. Unfortunately, your old login will not work. We know this is a nuisance, and we’re sorry for it. It’s a one-time step, and it lets us serve you better:

Go to www.lakevillejournal.com and click “subscribe”. From there, you should see a link to “Create Login”.

Enter your last name as it appears on your subscription, then choose a verification option so the system can match you to your existing subscription.

Your subscription term and expiration date carry over unchanged. If you subscribe to print, digital access is included.

If you aren’t yet a subscriber, we would be delighted to welcome you.

If you run into any trouble, we’ll work with you to sort it out quickly. Call us at 860-435-9873 x301, Monday through Friday, or email circulation@lakevillejournal.com. We’ll be glad to walk you through it.

This is the first of several improvements we’re making to how we serve readers.

Thank you for your support, and for reading.
