Monitor 2.0: Free Subscriber Survey

Thanks for reading the Monitor. These 8 questions take about two minutes and will shape version 2.0 of the Monitor, launching later in October.

The survey closes at midnight Monday, Oct. 5. One free subscriber, chosen at random, wins a $50 gift certificate to the Bourbon County business of their choice.

What's the main reason you haven't gone paid?

$7.50 a month isn't in my budget right now

The free emails and free stories give me enough

There aren't enough new stories to justify it

You don't cover the topics I care about most

I'm waiting to see if the Monitor sticks around and stays consistent

I get my local news elsewhere for free

I've been meaning to and haven't gotten around to it
