How to Subscribe to Times Leader or Access the E-Edition
Updated
To subscribe to the Times Leader, use the "Subscribe Now!" link at timesleader.com/subscribe; to get the digital replica edition, use "Subscribe To E-Edition" at timesleader.com/subscribe-to-e-edition. If you already receive the print paper, look for the "Print Subscriber Setup" option to link your account. The site also lists a free Monday e-edition and options to buy single editions or a custom front page. The site does not publish prices or state whether an account or login is required for each option, so confirm those details on the linked pages before committing.

Step by Step: Subscribing
- Go to timesleader.com/subscribe.
- Choose the offer that matches what you want (home delivery, digital, or a bundle, depending on what the page shows).
- Enter your delivery address if you are ordering print delivery, so the site can confirm your area is served.
- Complete checkout. The site lists "purchase" and "subscription" as payment-related actions but does not name a payment processor, so use the checkout flow as presented.
- Expect a confirmation with instructions for activating digital access. The exact activation steps are not described in the site materials, so follow whatever the confirmation email says.
Verification: after checkout, you should receive a confirmation. If you subscribed for digital access, try opening the e-edition link; if it asks you to log in, your account setup is the next step.
If you already get the print paper
Use "Print Subscriber Setup" rather than starting a new subscription. This avoids paying twice for access you may already have. The site does not spell out what information the setup form asks for, so have your account number or delivery address handy.
Step by Step: Accessing the E-Edition
- Open timesleader.com/subscribe-to-e-edition if you need a digital subscription, or go directly to the "Access E-Edition" link if you already subscribe.
- Log in when prompted. The site does not state whether a login is always required, but subscriber-only digital editions typically need one.
- Use the "Free Monday E-Edition" link if you want to try the format before subscribing.
Common snag: people who pay for print delivery sometimes buy a separate digital subscription because they don't see the print-subscriber setup path. Check for that option first.
Other Ways to Read or Buy
- Single editions: "Buy Single Editions" is listed under the Shop section, useful for a specific date such as a front page from a game day or a family announcement.
- Custom front page: "Buy A Custom Front Page" produces a personalized copy of the front page, a common gift or keepsake purchase.
- Apps: the site links to Times Leader apps for iPhone/iPad and Android, which are another route to the news, though the site does not say whether app access is included with a subscription.
- Newsletters and alerts: "Get News Alerts" is a separate, likely free, way to stay informed without a full subscription.
What the Site Does Not Tell You
Prices, trial lengths, cancellation terms, and whether login is required for the free Monday edition are not stated in the available site content. Treat any figure you see only after it appears on the subscription page itself, and read the terms shown at checkout before paying.
Related Tasks
If your goal is placing a death notice rather than subscribing, the site has a separate "Place an Obituary" path under its Obituaries section. For classified ads, use "Place A Classified Ad." These are handled through different forms than subscriptions and are not covered by a news subscription.
