How to Subscribe to The Post (thepostathens.com)

Updated

The Post does offer a subscription path, but the site's own pages don't spell out pricing, tiers, or what a subscription includes. The only subscription signal available is the presence of "subscribe" in the site's keyword data — no pricing links or payment platforms are listed. So the practical answer is: you can subscribe, but you'll need to check the site directly for terms, cost, and benefits.

What The Post Is

The Post is a local news outlet covering Athens, Ohio, with a focus on Ohio University and the surrounding community. Its coverage spans campus life, local government, state politics, and culture. Recent headlines on the site include:

  • "DeWine approves 90-day gas tax holiday" (state politics)
  • "HB 338 aims to reduce prison violence, studies show opposite" (policy reporting)
  • "Women's Mental Health Club provides support, empowerment for women" (campus/community)
  • "AI 'actor' Tilly Norwood's glitch sparks discussion on future of AI in film" (culture/technology)
  • "Passion Works Studio to relocate to Court Street" (local business)

That mix tells you what a subscription would be supporting: student and community journalism rather than national wire content.

How to Subscribe

Because the site's public metadata doesn't include a pricing page or payment details, the steps below are the general path rather than a confirmed menu walkthrough:

  1. Go to thepostathens.com.
  2. Look for a "Subscribe" link — typically in the top navigation bar or the site footer.
  3. Follow that link to the subscription page, where the outlet should list its current offers.
  4. Choose a plan and complete checkout through whatever payment processor the page uses.

Expected result: access to subscriber content and any associated newsletters or alerts, if the outlet bundles them.

Common snag: if no subscribe link appears on the homepage, try the footer, a "Support Us" or "Membership" page, or an article paywall prompt. Local outlets sometimes route subscriptions through a membership page instead of a standard subscribe button.

What to Verify Before Paying

Since the site data doesn't confirm the specifics, check these on the subscription page itself:

Question Why it matters
Monthly vs. annual price The site data shows no pricing, so confirm the actual cost
What's included Unlimited articles, newsletters, and exclusive reporting are common but not confirmed here
Cancellation terms Not stated in available data
Student discount The Post serves a university town; a student rate may exist, but it isn't documented in the site data

The Short Version

The Post accepts subscriptions, and subscribing supports local Athens and Ohio University coverage. But the available site information stops at the existence of a subscribe option — it doesn't confirm price, plan structure, or included benefits. Treat the subscription page as the source of truth, and read the terms there before entering payment details.
