For a time, the
Post-Star
maintained two distinctly different online presences. PostStar.net was an all-inclusive, subscription-based offering; Poststar.com offers the reader a few free articles per month, requiring a subscription beyond that. As of April 2007, PostStar.net ceased operation.
Starting July 11, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.
