EnglishHow to Access E-Editions and Subscribe to The Northwoods River News
Updated
The Northwoods River News (rivernewsonline.com) lists an E-Editions entry and a River News subscription link in its site navigation, alongside a separate Super Shopper – FREE link and a Sign in option. Based on the site as currently published, these are the paths to use for the electronic edition and subscription information. Note that the site has displayed an "under construction" notice after a hardware malfunction interrupted service on RiverNewsOnline.com and LakelandTimes.com, so some links may not load normally.
What the site currently shows
The navigation and header area of rivernewsonline.com includes these reader-facing entries:
| Entry | What it appears to be |
|---|---|
| E-Editions | Access point for the electronic edition of the paper |
| River News | Subscription/purchase link for The Northwoods River News |
| Super Shopper – FREE | Free shopper content, no subscription indicated |
| Sign in | Account login, likely needed for subscriber-only access |
The site does not publish prices, subscription tiers, or delivery terms in the visible page content, so those details have to be confirmed on the subscription page itself rather than assumed.
Steps to reach the E-Edition or subscribe
- Open rivernewsonline.com in a browser.
- Look at the top navigation/header for E-Editions (electronic edition) or River News (subscription).
- Select the relevant link. If you already have an account, choose Sign in first so the site recognizes your subscription.
- On the subscription page, check the offered terms (price, print vs. digital, delivery) before entering any payment information.
- If a link returns an error or a blank page, treat it as a temporary outage rather than a missing feature — the site has posted a service-interruption notice.
Expected result: the E-Edition viewer opens for signed-in subscribers, or the subscription page presents the available offers.
Common sticking points
- "Under construction" notice: The site states its new site is under construction and that a hardware malfunction interrupted service on RiverNewsOnline.com and LakelandTimes.com, with work underway to restore service. If E-Editions or subscription links fail, this is the likely cause; retry later rather than concluding the feature doesn't exist.
- Sign-in requirement: Some content sits behind Sign in. Have your account credentials ready before clicking subscriber content.
- Free vs. paid: Only Super Shopper is explicitly labeled FREE. Don't assume the E-Edition or River News subscription is free — the page evidence doesn't state pricing either way.
- Duplicate navigation: The header repeats the same menu blocks (News, Community, Obituaries, Opinions, Education, Sports, Outdoors). Use the topmost instance to avoid scrolling through repeated links.
If you mainly want local news without subscribing
The homepage surfaces current local stories directly, including Rhinelander city and school news, court news, obituaries, and sports (for example, RHS sports recaps and cross country results). Reading these headlines and summaries doesn't require the E-Edition; the subscription path matters when you want the full electronic edition or delivery.
