Frequently Asked Questions: Digital Subscription to Syracuse.com

Reporting local news professionally — sending reporters to the scenes of breaking news, producing investigative journalism that holds the powers that be in Central New York accountable, having a bench deep enough to bring you more and better Orange sports coverage than any other news outlet — is an expensive proposition. That why we need readers like you — readers who visit syracuse.com frequently and find value in the work we do — to support us by purchasing subscriptions. Here's where to get yours.

The number of stories you may read for free in a month varies based on the individual and his or her reading habits.

There are many exclusive benefits to a subscription to syracuse.com, including:

• Unlimited access to the latest, most comprehensive news in the Syracuse region — read as much as you want, whenever you want.
• The ePost-Standard, an exact digital replica of the printed newspaper, which many readers prefer to the web. The ePost-Standard also gives you access to scores of fun, interactive games and puzzles. Here's a sample edition of the ePost-Standard and more information.
• A suite of premium email newsletters, including:
  • The Insider's Guide to Upstate New York, your weekly authority on fun things to do and places to go in Upstate New York;
  • Alerts about breaking news as soon as it happens and, in the event of inclement weather, the latest on school closings;
  • A daily obituaries email containing comprehensive death notices for the greater Syracuse area, as well as funeral information; and
  • Top 6 @ 6, an evening recap of the top Syracuse news of the day, hand-selected by syracuse.com editors.
• Home delivery of the printed Sunday Post-Standard if you live within our delivery area.

Introductory subscription offers are available to new subscribers only. New subscribers are those who have not subscribed within the past 30 days.

If you have a subscription to the printed edition of The Post-Standard, the answer is yes: You may add up to five email addresses to a single subscription. To add email addresses to your print subscription, visit syracuse.com's Subscriber Center after you sign in.

If you're a digital-only subscriber, you may have only one email address associated with your subscription.
