November subscription drive It’s getting frosty out there, which means its the time of year when we at the Examiner take a stab at convincing you and yours (those who aren’t already subscribers) to support the continued existence and growth of the Halifax Examiner. From her first Morningfile back in May 2015, El Jones has […]
The Halifax Examiner subscription drive: what your support funds
Morning File, Friday, November Friggin' 1, 2019
November subscription drive It’s that time again: a month when we unceasingly plead for new subscriptions. To be fair, for most of the rest of the year we mostly leave you alone; aside from a few gentle reminders here and there, there are no popup windows or other annoying admonishes. We’re usually a soft sell. […]
Halifax CFL team: the Richard Butts connection
Morning File, Friday, November 2, 2018
November subscription drive Today, I could write a long thing telling you about how important your subscription is, or you could read what I wrote yesterday and today I’ll just post a picture of a cute dog: Your dog can also wear a Halifax Examiner T-shirt, but only if your dog buys an annual subscription.

Bullshitter of the day: Jacques Dubé
Morning File, Thursday, November 1, 2018
November subscription drive It’s time for our annual November subscription drive, so all month I’ll be banging the subscription drum a bit more frequently and a bit louder.

Give us all your money! Or, you know, ten bucks a month. I’m no good at this “beg for subscriptions” thing, but I think I’m supposed to tell you that this is about the cost of a latte a week. Or about 33 cents a day — 32 cents on the long months; we’re really […]
The worst-managed subscription drive ever: Morning File, Wednesday, November 8, 2017
November subscription drive This is the worst-managed subscription drive ever: I forgot to even mention it yesterday. That’s partly because I’m a bit busier than normal this week as I’m reporting on a couple of issues that require a lot of time, but the results of that reporting probably won’t be seen for weeks or […]
Vexatious litigant Roger Callow storms Nova Scotia courts: Morning File, Friday, November 3, 2017
Annual subscription Drive I’ve always been a soft sell on the subscription front. Shilling for subscriptions annoys me more than it annoys you, probably. But this is how we pay for the Examiner. I’m committed to paying contributors and employees decently, and that requires a steady income from subscribers. My hope is that this year’s drive […]
