How to Access the e-Edition and News Alerts on The Fayette County Record
Updated
The Fayette County Record's website (fayettecountyrecord.com) provides two distinct ways to follow its coverage: the e-Edition, which is a digital replica of the printed paper, and news alerts, which are email notifications you can sign up for. The e-Edition is reached through the site's navigation menu, while news alerts are set up through a separate sign-up link. Both are aimed at readers who want the paper's content delivered rather than browsing the open website.
Accessing the e-Edition
The e-Edition appears as a labeled item in the site's navigation. On fayettecountyrecord.com, look for "e-Edition" in the menu areas — the site organizes its links into a main navigation, a second navigation, and a user account menu, so the e-Edition link sits among these navigation groupings rather than buried in an article page.
What the e-Edition gives you, compared with the regular website:
| Regular website | e-Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Individual articles and pages as posted online | Digital replica of the printed edition |
| Reading experience | Browse story by story | Page-by-page, as the paper was laid out in print |
| Best for | Finding a specific story or section | Reading the full issue in its original order and layout |
If you want the complete issue rather than scattered web articles, the e-Edition is the entry point. If you only need a single story, the regular site is faster.
Signing Up for News Alerts
News alerts are handled through a dedicated sign-up form rather than through the e-Edition itself. The site links to a subscription page at fcr.myflodesk.com/subscribe, labeled "Sign up for News Alerts." Entering your email there is the step that puts you on the alert list.
A few practical notes:
- The sign-up runs on Flodesk, an email marketing platform, so the confirmation and any subsequent alerts will arrive by email from that system.
- The site's pricing signals include the word "subscribe," but the available information does not state whether news alerts, e-Edition access, or both carry a cost. Treat access terms as something to confirm at the sign-up point rather than assuming either free or paid.
- If you reach the site through a shared or social link (some sign-up URLs carry Facebook click identifiers), you still land on the same Flodesk form.
Other Ways to Follow the Paper
Beyond the e-Edition and email alerts, the site also points readers to its YouTube channel for video content and maintains a Facebook presence. These are supplementary channels — useful if you prefer video or social updates, but they don't replace the e-Edition for reading the full issue.
Quick Reference
- e-Edition: use the "e-Edition" link in the site navigation.
- News alerts: sign up at fcr.myflodesk.com/subscribe.
- Video: check the paper's YouTube channel.
- Social: follow on Facebook.
Start with the e-Edition link if you want the paper as printed; use the Flodesk sign-up if you want alerts pushed to your inbox.
