Facing the Delivery Dilemma: Print Edition Only
Let's be honest, there's a certain charm to a physical newspaper, that satisfying thwack on the porch. But who wants a yard transformed into a mini-Inquirer forest upon their return? Here's how to hit the pause button:
- Dial Up the Cavalry (Customer Service, That Is): Grab your phone, channel your inner Rocky Balboa, and dial 215-222-2765. Their trusty customer service team awaits, ready to enact your vacation news blackout (weekdays: 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM ET, weekends: 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM ET).
- Don't Forget the Dates: Nobody wants a stack of newspapers forming a spontaneous Great Wall of Inquirer upon their return. Be upfront about your vacation timeframe.
Pro Tip: While you're on the line, consider requesting a temporary nickname for the customer service rep. "Captain News Freeze" perhaps?
Conquering the Digital Dominion: Website and App
Do you have a digital subscription that keeps those pesky pop-up notifications alive and well? Fear not, fellow adventurer! While there's no official vacation hold function (yet!), you have a few options:
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
- Go Old School - The "Airplane Mode" Approach: This might sound extreme, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. If you absolutely must silence all notifications, airplane mode is your friend (though this will affect all your apps).
- The Power of Self-Control: Unsubscribe from email newsletters, and develop Jedi-like willpower to resist the siren song of news alerts.
Remember: You can always catch up on the world's happenings when you return. Besides, a little digital detox might be just what the doctor ordered!
