My daughter lives in Hendersonville NC and I would like to get her a subscription to the best daily area newspaper. She currently gets her news on Facebook(apparently like most young folks) and I think she is missing out on a lot of relevant local, national and world news as well as good Op-Ed columns. My question is should I get her the Hendersonville paper or the Asheville paper.

There is none. The Hendersonville times usually has stories that are a week old or more and could be read in about 2 minutes.

Probably best because it's very local would be to get her the Fri/Sat/Sun subscription to the Times-News.

There is also another local paper that is gaining a lot of popularity and is informative:


The Front Page - Hendersonville Lightning


The Asheville paper doesn't have much local Hendersonville news.


Since she is 'young', you could also think about getting her the Mountain Express. Lots of info on what is going on in the area, and places to eat, etc.


www.mountainx.com




A monthly free lifestyle magazine (pick up at markets, banks, stores), she may like for happenings and shopping, lots of information of what is going on in the area is:


The Laurel of Asheville lifestyle magazine

Why not buy her a digital subscription to one of the above. Frankly you can get more current news online these days.

Thank you all for your advice. I think I'll go with the Times-News hard copy and digital subscription. I'm old school and she is somewhat an old soul. I hope she learns to enjoy the feel and experience of the actual paper and only, use digital when traveling.

I'm old school too and much prefer a "real" newspaper.

I believe if you sign up for the hard copy you will get the digital subscription for free. Just sign her up with her email address, or call and do it over the phone; that way you will be able to tell them exactly what you want to do. Free is good.
